Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem provided involves a circle with center , and it states:
- .
- .
- We are tasked with finding .
Solution:
Since is the central angle, it subtends at the circumference.
-
Property of Angles in a Circle: The angle subtended by an arc at the center of a circle is twice the angle subtended at the circumference. Therefore:
-
Substitute the given value of :
Thus, the measure of is .
