True or False!!!! The measure of a tangent-tangent angle is twice the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.
1 answer:
answer : False
The measure of a tangent-tangent angle is one - half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.
The diagram is attached below
AB and BC are the two tangents
By exterior angle theorem
∠3 = ∠2 + ∠4
So ∠2 = ∠3 - ∠4
Now we find angle 3 and 4, we know when a chord and tangent intersect at a point then the measure of angle is one half of measure of intercepted arc
∠3 =
∠4 =
∠2 = ∠3 - ∠4
∠2 = -
∠2 =
The measure of a tangent-tangent angle is one half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

Explanation:
1/3 is the same as 2/6
Imagine cutting a cake into thirds, then cutting each piece in two parts, so you'll have 6 pieces total. If you shade one third of the cake, then this is the same as shading 2/6 of a cake. The diagram shows this below.
Therefore 4/6 + 1/3 is the same as 4/6 + 2/6
At this point, we add the numerators over the common denominator
4/6 + 2/6 = (4+2)/6 = 6/6 = 1
Meaning we get a full cake since 4/6 is four slices and 2/6 is another two slices leading to 4+2 = 6 slices total out of the 6 overall.
