1. **Problem Statement:** We are given a circle with a tangent line \(\overrightarrow{GH}\) at point \(H\) and a chord \(\overline{FH}\). The angle between the tangent \(\overrightarrow{GH}\) and the chord \(\overline{FH}\) is \(44^\circ\). The measure of the arc \(\overset{\frown}{EF}\) is \(133^\circ\). We need to find the measure of the minor arc \(\overset{\frown}{FH}\). 2. **Formula Used:** The angle formed between a tangent and a chord is half the measure of the intercepted arc. Mathematically, $$\text{Angle} = \frac{1}{2} \times m\overset{\frown}{FH}$$ where \(m\overset{\frown}{FH}\) is the measure of the arc intercepted by the angle. 3. **Important Rule:** The tangent-chord angle equals half the measure of the intercepted arc. 4. **Given:** - Angle between tangent and chord \(= 44^\circ\) - Arc \(\overset{\frown}{EF} = 133^\circ\) 5. **Find:** \(m\overset{\frown}{FH}\) 6. **Step-by-step Solution:** - The angle between tangent \(\overrightarrow{GH}\) and chord \(\overline{FH}\) intercepts arc \(\overset{\frown}{FH}\). - Using the formula: $$44 = \frac{1}{2} \times m\overset{\frown}{FH}$$ - Multiply both sides by 2: $$2 \times 44 = \cancel{2} \times \frac{1}{\cancel{2}} \times m\overset{\frown}{FH}$$ $$88 = m\overset{\frown}{FH}$$ 7. **Answer:** $$m\overset{\frown}{FH} = 88^\circ$$ This means the minor arc \(\overset{\frown}{FH}\) measures \(88^\circ\).
