x = 45°
Solution:
Given data:
Measure of larger arc = 152°
Measure of smaller arc = 62°
<em>If a tangent and a secant intersect at the exterior of a circle then the measure of angle formed is one-half the positive difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.</em>
⇒ x = 45°
The value of x is 45°.
The equation of a circle exists:
, where (h, k) be the center.
The center of the circle exists at (16, 30).
<h3>What is the equation of a circle?</h3>
Let, the equation of a circle exists:
, where (h, k) be the center.
We rewrite the equation and set them equal :
We solve for each coefficient meaning if the term on the LHS contains an x then its coefficient exists exactly as the one on the RHS containing the x or y.
-2hx = -32x
h = -32/-2
⇒ h = 16.
-2ky = -60y
k = -60/-2
⇒ k = 30.
The center of the circle exists at (16, 30).
