Answer:

  1. ∠EDF = 104°

  2. arc FG = 201°

  3. ∠T = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of angle relationships that are applicable to these problems.

• the angle where chords meet is half the sum of the measures of the intercepted arcs
• the angle where secants meet is half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs

The first of these applies to the first two problems.

1. ∠EDF = 1/2(arc EF + arc UG)

  ∠EDF = 1/2(147° +61°) = 1/2(208°)

  ∠EDF = 104°

__

2. ∠FHG = 1/2(arc FG + arc ES)

  128° = 1/2(arc FG +55°) . . . substitute given information

  256° = arc FG +55° . . . . . . multiply by 2

  201° = arc FG . . . . . . . . . subtract 55°

__

3. For the purpose of this problem, a tangent is a special case of a secant in which both intersection points with the circle are the same point. The relation for secants still applies.

  ∠T = 1/2(arc FS -arc US)

  ∠T = 1/2(170° -50°) = 1/2(120°)

  ∠T = 60°
