Question

In the diagram below,XY and YZ are tangent to O. What is the measure of mXZ?
(picture below)

Answer 1

Hints:

arc XZ = angle XOZ

angles ZYX and XOZ add up to 180 degrees

Answer 2

no im confused with which answer im using. am i using the 245-65=180 then 180 times 2. answer:360? or am i using the 245-65=180 then 1/2 times 180 answer:90?

Answer 3

or am i thinking wrong?

Answer 4

first find angle XOZ

Answer 5

by solving this equation

n + 65 = 180

Answer 6

115

Answer 7

you got it, that's equal to the measure of arc XZ

Answer 8

wait..thats the answer?

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

ohhh

Answer 11
