Respuesta :

The given circle having two external tangents, according to circle

theorem, have the following values;

  • r = 3
  • m∠1  = 82°
  • m∠2 = 49°
  • x = 82°

How can the radial  length and angles be found?

r² + 1.6² = (0.4 + r)²

(0.4 + r)² - (r² + 1.6²) = 0

0.8·r - 2.4 = 0

0.8·r = 2.4

r = 2.4 ÷ 0.8 = 3

  • r = 3

y = 49°

From the two tangent angle theorem, we have;

m∠1 = ((82 + 98 + 82) - (360 - ((82 + 98 + 82)))) ÷ 2 = 82

  • m∠1  = 82°

According to circle theorems, angle at the center is twice angle

subtended at the circumference.

m∠2 = (360 - (82 + 98 + 82)) ÷ 2 = 49°

  • m∠2 = 49°

The length of the chord subtended by the arc x is equal to the length of

the chord subtended by 89°, which gives;

  • x = 82°
