1. **Problem 6: Find the measure of arc TUV given the circle with tangent point U and angle 108° inside the circle.**
2. The angle formed by two tangents from an external point to a circle is half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.
3. Given the angle at U is 108°, and the two tangents touch the circle at points T and V, the measure of arc TUV is related by:
$$\text{Angle at } U = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{measure of arc } TUV$$
4. Rearranging the formula:
$$\text{measure of arc } TUV = 2 \times 108^\circ = 216^\circ$$
5. Therefore, the measure of arc TUV is $216^\circ$.
1. **Problem 8: Find the measure of arc HJ given angles 29° and 96° in the circle with secants.**
2. The angle formed by two secants intersecting outside a circle is half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.
3. Let the measure of arc HJ be $x$. The angle formed is 29°, and the other arc is 96°.
4. Using the formula:
$$29^\circ = \frac{1}{2} |96^\circ - x|$$
5. Multiply both sides by 2:
$$58^\circ = |96^\circ - x|$$
6. Solve for $x$:
$$96^\circ - x = 58^\circ \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 96^\circ - 58^\circ = 38^\circ$$
or
$$96^\circ - x = -58^\circ \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 96^\circ + 58^\circ = 154^\circ$$
7. The measure of arc HJ can be either $38^\circ$ or $154^\circ$ depending on the arc considered.
1. **Problem 10: Solve for $x$ given angles 78° and (23x - 3)° in a circle with a tangent and a secant.**
2. The angle formed by a tangent and a secant is half the measure of the intercepted arc.
3. Using the formula:
$$78^\circ = \frac{1}{2} (23x - 3)^\circ$$
4. Multiply both sides by 2:
$$2 \times 78^\circ = 23x - 3$$
$$156 = 23x - 3$$
5. Add 3 to both sides:
$$156 + 3 = 23x$$
$$159 = 23x$$
6. Divide both sides by 23:
$$x = \frac{159}{23}$$
7. Simplify the fraction:
$$x = \cancel{\frac{159}{23}} = 6.9130...$$
8. Therefore, $x \approx 6.91$.
