Answer 1

Answer:

160°

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the central angle theorem for this. It says that an angle inscribed in a circle (on the circumference) measured half of the arc it intercepts (by 2 points on the circumference of the circle).

that would mean that Angle KAW is half of measure of Arc KW. Thus we can write:

m∠A = 0.5 (arc KE + arc EW)

x+45 =0.5 (x+20+3x)

x+45 = 0.5(4x+20)

x+45 = 2x + 10

45 - 10 = 2x - x

Thus, x = 35

Since Arc KW = Arc KE + Arc EW and x = 35, we can say:

Arc KW = x + 20 + 3x = 35 + 20 + 3(35) = 160°
