Answer:
statement D is correct.
<em>Statement: ∠7 ≅ ∠6 and ∠8 ≅ ∠5</em>
<em>Reason: Vertical Angles Theorem</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
3 ≅ ∠7 and ∠4 ≅ ∠8
from statement 2 because they are corresponding angles.
∠8 ≅ ∠5
because its vertical angles
The vertical angles theorem is about angles that are opposite each other.
So,
∠4 ≅ ∠8 and ∠8 ≅ ∠5
which means
<h3> ∠4 ≅ ∠5 </h3>
Hence,
∠3 = ∠7
∠4 = ∠5
they are known as interior alternative angles.

Step-by-step explanation:
The equation has no solutions because negative 2 ≠ 4
Answer:
50°
Step-by-step explanation:
As usual, the diagram is not drawn to scale.
The chord divides the circle into two arcs that have a sum of 360°. If we let "a" represent the measure of the smaller arc, then we have ...
a + (a+160°) = 360°
2a = 200° . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 160°
a = 100°
The measure of the angle at A is 1/2 the measure of the subtended arc:
acute ∠A = a/2 = (1/2)·100° = 50°

<em>Comment on this geometry</em>
Consider a different inscribed angle, one with vertex V on the circle and subtending the same short arc subtended by chord AB. Then you know that the angle at V is half the measure of arc AB. This is still true as point V approaches (and becomes) point A on the circle. When V becomes A, segment VA becomes tangent line <em>l</em>, and you have the geometry shown here.
