In circle V, angle WXZ measures 30°. Line segments WV, XV, ZV, and YV are radii of circle V. Circle V is shown. Line segments W V, X V, Z V, and Y V are radii. Lines are drawn from point W to point X and from point Z to point Y to form secants. Point U is on the circle between points W and X. What is the measure of Arc W U X in circle V?

Answer:

[tex]arc\ WUX=120^o[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

step 1

Find the measure of angle XWV

we know that

The triangle VWX is an isosceles triangle, because has two equal sides (VX=VW)

we have

[tex]m\angle WXZ=30^o[/tex]

[tex]m\angle WXV=m\angle WXZ[/tex]

so

[tex]m\angle WXV=30^o[/tex]

Remember that an isosceles triangle has two equal interior angles

so

[tex]m\angle XWV=m\angle WXV[/tex]

[tex]m\angle XWV=30^o[/tex]

step 2

Find the measure of angle WVX

Remember that the sum of the interior angles in any triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

so

[tex]m\angle\ WVX+m\angle XWV+m\angle WXV=180^o[/tex]

substitute the given values

[tex]m\angle WVX+30^o+30^o=180^o[/tex]

[tex]m\angle WVX=180^o-60^o=120^o[/tex]

step 3

Find the measure of arc WUX

we know that

[tex]arc\ WUX=m\angle WVX[/tex] ----> by central angle

we have

[tex]m\angle WVX=120^o[/tex]

therefore

[tex]arc\ WUX=120^o[/tex]
