What does home mean to you?
Mademuasel [1]

Home isn't a place I have found yet. Yes, I have a house, but it is not a place that I think of with great joy. For me, home will be when I move in with a lover and start my own family. When I grow up and am happy, then I will finally be home.

If the measure of a tangent chord angle is 68 degrees then what is the measure of the intercepted arc inside the angle
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

136°

Explanation:

Theorem: The measure of the angle formed by a tangent and a chord is equal to one-half the measure of the intercepted arc.

In the diagram below, PR is the chord, PRS is the tangent, and PQR is the intercepted arc.

Per the theorem,

mPRS = ½mPQR

mPQR = 2mPRS = 2 × 68° = 136°

The measure of the intersected arc is 136°.
