Circle R is shown. Tangents F G and H G intersect at point G outside of the circle to form an angle with a measure of 50 degrees. Point E is on the second arc. Arc F H has a measure of x degrees. In the diagram of circle R, m∠FGH is 50°. What is mAngle F E H? 130° 230° 260° 310°

Respuesta :

Answer:

if x = arc FG, then  x = 130 degrees, the bigger arc is 230 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

We see there are 2 tangent lines of circle R

There is a theorem that says  angle FGH = [ (arc FEH) - (arc (FH)] /2

50 =  (arc FEH - arc FH) /2

arc FEH - arc FH = 100

and arc FEH + arc FH = 360

solving this system you should get   FH = 130 and FEH = 230

The measure of ∠FEH is 55°

What is tangent of a circle?

"It is a line which intersects the circle at only one point."

What is arc of a circle?

"It is the segment of the circumference of a circle."

For given example,

Consider the figure shown below.

∠FGH = 50°

Arc FH has a measure of x°.

⇒ ∠FRH = x°

We know, "the angle between the two tangents drawn from an external point to a circle supplementary to the angle subtended by the line segment."

⇒ ∠FGH + ∠FRH = 180°

⇒ 50° + x° = 180°

⇒ x° = 180° - 50°

⇒ x° = 130°

Point E is on the second arc.

We need to find measure of ∠FEH.

We know, "the measure of angles subtended to any point on the circumference of the circle from the same arc is equal to half of the angle subtended at the center by the same arc."

⇒ ∠FRH = 2 × ∠FEH

⇒ 130 = 2 × ∠FEH

⇒ ∠FEH = 130/2

∠FEH = 55°

Therefore, the measure of ∠FEH is 55°
