Answer:
The measure of anle MNP is
- m ∠ MNP = (x - y)/2
Explanation:
The image attached shows the figure corresponding to this question.
The <em>angle MNP</em>, wich is also the angle LNP, is formed by the intersection of a secant and a tanget to a circle.
Then, you can use the theorem:
- the angle formed by a secant and a tangent to a circle that intersect outside the circle is half the difference of the major arc minus the minor arc.
The major arc formed is identified with the letter x and the minor arc is identified witht he letter y. Thus, the measure of the angle MNP is half the differenc x - y:
- m ∠ MNP = (x - y)/2
