Answer
Step-by-step solution
4 stepsRelate angles to intercepted arcs.
The angle subtended by an arc at the circumference is half the measure of the arc.
Given , the measure of arc NP is .
Given , the measure of arc MQ is .Use the theorem for angles formed by intersecting chords inside a circle.
The angle formed by two chords intersecting inside a circle is half the sum of the measures of the intercepted arcs. is formed by chords NP and MQ intersecting at F. The intercepted arcs are NP and MQ.
Substitute the given values: .
Rearrange to form Equation 1:
Use the theorem for angles formed by two secants intersecting outside a circle.
The angle formed by two secants intersecting outside a circle is half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs. is formed by secants NE and ME intersecting at E. The intercepted arcs are NP and MQ.
Substitute the given values: .
Rearrange to form Equation 2:
Solve the system of linear equations.
We have the system:
Add Equation (1) and Equation (2):
Substitute into Equation (2):
The values are .
