Solution

I have viewed the image you uploaded. Let's solve the two parts of the problem:

Part (a):

We are given:

  • XZY=64\angle XZY = 64^\circ
  • Arc XY=73XY = 73^\circ We are asked to find the measure of arc VWVW.

Solution: The key fact here is that the measure of an inscribed angle is half of the arc it subtends. Here, XZY\angle XZY subtends arc XYXY, so: XZY=12×Arc XY\angle XZY = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Arc } XY Substitute the values: 64=12×7364^\circ = \frac{1}{2} \times 73^\circ This isn't correct, which implies that XZY\angle XZY subtends a different arc.

Instead, XZY\angle XZY subtends the arc opposite to arc XYXY, which is the rest of the circle. The total measure of the circle is 360360^\circ, so the remaining arc (arc VWVW) is: Arc VW=36073=287\text{Arc } VW = 360^\circ - 73^\circ = 287^\circ

Now, using the inscribed angle formula: XZY=12×Arc VW\angle XZY = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Arc } VW Substitute the known value of XZY\angle XZY: 64=12×Arc VW64^\circ = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Arc } VW Multiply both sides by 2: 128=Arc VW128^\circ = \text{Arc } VW

So, the measure of arc VW=128VW = 128^\circ.


Part (b):

We are given:

  • ADB=240\angle ADB = 240^\circ We are asked to find ACB\angle ACB.

Solution: In a circle, when two angles subtend the same arc, the angle at the circumference is half the angle at the center. Here, ADB\angle ADB is at the center, and it subtends arc ABAB. Therefore, the angle at the circumference ACB\angle ACB is: ACB=12×ADB\angle ACB = \frac{1}{2} \times \angle ADB Substitute the value of ADB\angle ADB: ACB=12×240=120\angle ACB = \frac{1}{2} \times 240^\circ = 120^\circ

Thus, ACB=120\angle ACB = 120^\circ.


Let me know if you want further details or have any questions. Here are some related problems for you to explore:

  1. What is the relationship between the angle at the center and the arc subtended by it?
  2. How would the solution change if ADB\angle ADB was smaller than 180°?
  3. What would happen if point ZZ was moved closer to XX in part (a)?
  4. Can you deduce a general rule for inscribed angles in any circle?
  5. If you know arc VWVW, how would you calculate the corresponding inscribed angle?

Tip: Remember that angles at the circumference that subtend the same arc are always equal!
