Question

What is the measure of arc WXY

Answer 1

Answer:

152°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P be any point on tangent $\overleftrightarrow{YZ}$ and WY is secant or chord of the $\odot J$ .

$\therefore m\angle WYZ + m\angle WYP = 180°\\(Straight \: line \: \angle 's) \\\therefore 104° + m\angle WYP = 180°\\\therefore m\angle WYP = 180°- 104° \\\red{\boxed {\bold {\therefore m\angle WYP = 76°}}}$

NOW, by tangent secant theorem:

$m\angle WYP =\frac{1}{2}\times m(\widehat{WXY}) \\\\76°=\frac{1}{2}\times m( \widehat{WXY}) \\\\76°\times 2 =m( \widehat{WXY}) \\\huge \purple {\boxed {\therefore m(\widehat{WXY}) = 152°}}$
