Point O is the center of the given circle. What is the measure of YZ?
Point O is the center of the given circle. What is the measure of YZ?
Let a chord join YZ, then angle XYZ = 90° and angle XZY = 90 - 54 = 36°
angle OYZ = angle XZY = 36°
Therefore, the measure of YZ = 180 - 36 - 36 = 108°
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Please refer the diagram I have attached.
Alright, lets get started.
As O is the center, OX and OY will be same because both are radius.
So, the angle OYX will also be 54 degrees.
In triangle OYZ, the angle OYZ = \(90-54=36\)
As OY and OZ are same because both will be radius.
Angle YZO will also be 36 degree.
the sum of all three angles will be 180, so
Angle YOZ = \(180-36-36=108\)
Hence the measure of arc YZ will be 108.
Hope it will help :)
