Can someone give me some hints with this exercise?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure where that 120 belongs.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But those are degrees.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry the angle between B and C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it given that line AC passes through the centre of the circle ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@shivam_bhalla I think in that case we wouldn't need 120 degrees at all ... :A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The angle between B and C ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let me traslate the original problem into spanesh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

into english sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

BC is a straight line. Or do you mean the arc?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please define 120 angle properly.You can draw and show

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In that case AC must be the diameter.

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

please draw diagram as i can't see ur made figure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

From P, a tangent line PA and a secant PBC are drawn, such that P opens 50°; BC is 120°. What is the measure of x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is the information I got.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you mean by BC??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1336319907638:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

PBC is the secant. there is a typo there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is how I see the problem.

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

sorry but I have to go now !I will post it later definitely tomorrow.good luck.bye

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure no problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Guys, I think the line AC must pass through the center. Am I right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then 120º makes sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just realized that if that will be the case, then x will be 32 and 120º will be of use at all.

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

|dw:1336320986648:dw| you should be able to solve this using properties of angles subtended at an arc to find x.
