Answer to Problem 8WE
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The figure:
Concept used:
The measure of an inscribed
The measure of an angle formed by a chord and a tangent is equal to half the measure of the intercepted arc.
Calculation:
Let us name the quadrilateral inscribed in the
As the three sides are equal, (
(
As
Therefore,
Now, the measure of an inscribed angle is equal to half the measure of its intercepted arc.
Therefore,
Also, as there are three arc of same angle,
And the measure of an angle formed by a chord and a tangent is equal to half the measure of the intercepted arc.
Therefore,
