In the diagram below, AB
is a tangent at C and XC
is a diameter. Find the following: mÐ YXC, |
![]() |
mÐ YXC = 58° |
(inscribed angle on opposite side of
chord CY from the tangent chord angle, Ð YCB) |
mÐ YZC = 58° | (same as above) |
mÐ YCX = 90° - 58° = 32° | (tangent perpendicular to radius) |
mÐ ZYC = 90° - 38° = 52° | (Inscribed angle in a semicircle is a right angle) |
mÐ ZCA = mÐ ZYC = 52 |
(tangent chord angle is equal to inscribed angle on the opposite side of the chord. ) |
mÐ ZCX = mÐ XYZ = 38° |
(inscribed angles intercepting the same arc are
equal.) |
