Answer:
<em>90 degree</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Three points A, B, and C are added and shown in attached picture.
As the property of inscribed angle in circle:
angle BAC = (1/2) x 88 = 44 deg
As the property of complement angle:
angle ABC = 180 - 89 = 91 deg
As the property of sum of three angles in a triangle:
angle ACB + angle ABC + angle BAC = 180 deg
=> angle ACB = 180 - angle ABC - angle BAC = 180 - 44 - 91 = 45 deg
One more time, we use the property of inscribed angle in circle:
x = 2 x angle ACB = 2 x 45 = 90 deg
Hope this helps!
