Math Problem Statement

AM = Radius des Kreises g1 // g2, t ist Tangente an den Kreis im Punkt C, α = 27° Berechnen Sie den Winkel β

Solution

The problem is asking to calculate the angle β\beta given the following information from the diagram:

  • tt is a tangent to the circle at point CC.
  • α=27\alpha = 27^\circ is the angle between the line g1g_1 and line gg.
  • You are to find the angle β\beta between line g2g_2 and line gg.

Steps to solve:

  1. Understanding the Geometry:

    • tt is tangent to the circle at point CC.
    • g1g_1 and g2g_2 are lines intersecting the circle.
    • MM is the center of the circle.
    • gg is a line intersecting lines g1g_1 and g2g_2 at points AA and BB respectively.
  2. Identify the given angles:

    • The angle α\alpha is the angle formed by line g1g_1 and line gg at point AA.
    • β\beta is the angle between line g2g_2 and line gg at point BB.
  3. Use of the Tangent-Secant Theorem:

    • The angle tCM\angle tCM is the angle between the tangent and the radius (which is a right angle, 9090^\circ).
    • The angle α\alpha formed by the line g1g_1 with the tangent can be related to the angle between the tangent and the radius using the properties of circles and tangents.
    • The angle β\beta can then be derived by understanding the relationship between the angles α\alpha and β\beta and the geometry of the circle.
  4. Calculation:

    • Since MM is the center, AMC=α\angle AMC = \alpha.
    • Using the alternate segment theorem, MCA=β\angle MCA = \angle \beta.
    • Given that α=27\alpha = 27^\circ, the corresponding β\beta would also be 2727^\circ, as the two angles in question form corresponding angles with respect to the tangent at CC.

Thus, β=27\beta = 27^\circ.

Conclusion

The value of β\beta is 2727^\circ.
