Circle A is missing, so i have attached it.
Answer:
∠XYZ = 35°
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the angle ∠XYZ in the image attached.
To solve that, we will use the formula in the theorem for angle formed by secants or tangents. Thus;
∠XYZ = ½(arc WZ - arc XZ)
From the image, arc WZ = 175° and arc XZ = 105°
Thus;
∠XYZ = ½(175 - 105)
∠XYZ = ½(70)
∠XYZ = 35°
