Answer 1

Answer:

IU = 161

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle Formed by Two Secants=  1/2 (difference of Intercepted Arcs)

42 = 1/2 (7m+5 - (3m-1))

Distribute the minus sign

42 = 1/2 (7m+5 - 3m+1))

Combine like terms

42 = 1/2 ( 4m+6)

Distribute the 1/2

42 = 2m+3

Subtract 3 from each side

42-3 = 2m+3-3

39 = 2m

Divide by 2

19.5 = m

The sum of the arcs = 360

IU+ 3m-1 + 7m+5 = 360

IU +10m+4 = 360

IU +10(19.5) +4 = 360

IU +195+4 = 360

IU = 360 - 199

IU=161

Answer 2

Answer:  161 degrees

=========================================================

Explanation:

Line AE is a tangent while line AU is a secant. The angle formed by the secant and tangent lines connects with the arcs through this formula

secant tangent angle = (larger arc - smaller arc)/2

More specifically, we can say:

angle EAI = (arc EU - arc IE)/2

42 = ( (7m+5) - (3m-1) )/2

42*2 = (7m+5) - (3m-1)

84 = 7m+5 - 3m+1

84 = 4m+6

4m+6 = 84

4m = 84-6

4m = 78

m = 78/4

m = 39/2

m = 19.5

Use this value of m to compute each arc

• arc IE = 3m-1 = 3*19.5-1 = 57.5 degrees
• arc EU = 7m+5 = 7*19.5+5 = 141.5 degrees

Let's say arc IU is some unknown number x. It must add to the other two arc measures to form 360 degrees, which is a full circle.

(arc IU) + (arc IE) + (arc EU) = 360

x + 57.5 + 141.5 = 360

x + 199 = 360

x = 360-199

x = 161

The measure of minor arc IU is 161 degrees
