Find the angle measures. Justify your responses. Given: a||b, m1=71º Find m5, m8
1 answer:
Answer:
The measure of angle MNP is
m ∠ MNP = (x - y)/2
Explanation:
The image attached shows the figure corresponding to this question.
The angle MNP, which is also the angle LNP, is formed by the intersection of a secant and a tangent to a circle.
Then, you can use the theorem:
the angle formed by a secant and a tangent to a circle that intersect outside the circle is half the difference of the major arc minus the minor arc.
The major arc formed is identified with the letter x and the minor arc is identified with the letter y. Thus, the measure of the angle MNP is half the difference x - y:
m ∠ MNP = (x - y)/2

<h3>Answer: Choice D. 
</h3>
The red angle markers show those two angles are congruent. That's one "A" of "ASA". The S refers to a congruent pair of sides. We don't have any tickmarks to indicate congruent pairs; however, we do know that QR = QR is a shared side that overlaps (reflexive theorem). So this is the "S" in "ASA".
The thing missing is the angle Q of the top triangle, and also of the bottom triangle as well. If we know those two angles are congruent, then we have enough info to use ASA. More specifically, if we know that , then we can use ASA.
One thing to notice is that the other answer choices involve side lengths and not angles. This implies that if A, B or C were one of the answers, then we would have something like SAS or SSS. But instead we want ASA. So we can immediately rule choices A,B, and C out.
