Answer:
x = 250°
Step-by-step explanation:
"Angle formed between a chord and tangent intersecting on a circle measure the half of the intercepted arc"
From the figure attached,
Angle between the chord and the tangent = 55°
Measure of intercepted arc (minor arc AB) = h°
Therefore, 55° = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(h)[/tex]
[tex]h=110^0[/tex]
And m(minor arc AB) + m(major arc AB) = 360°
h° + x° = 360°
110° + x° = 360°
x° = 360° - 110°°
x = 250°
Therefore, measure of the intercepted arc is 250°.
