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.

The following formula relates 3 equantities: force(F),mass(m),and acceleration(a)
weqwewe [10]
We know, Force = mass × acceleration


( i ) :

Given,
Force = 25 units
Mass = 10 units
Acceleration = ?


Solution,

Applying the formula of force,
➡ Force = mass × Acceleration

⏩ 25 = 10 × acceleration

⏩ 25 / 10 =acceleration

⏩ 2.5 units = acceleration




( ii ) :


Given,
Force = 25 units
Acceleration = 5 units
Mass =?



Solution :

Applying formula,
➡ Force = mass × acceleration

⏩ 25 = 5 × mass

⏩ 25 / 5 = mass

⏩ 5 units = mass
