I need some help on this problem please.
@ranga
The two lines that make the x degrees, are they tangents to the circle?
Are you seeing if I know, or do you not know?
Yes they are, either way.
Why?
How is it correct though? I guess, it looked most accurate
Sorry. That is not the correct answer.
Is it 75?
please explain the steps so I can learn.

Ok got that. Now what, geometry is sometimes hard for me to grasp, but if you show me the steps I will understand how to do it.
Since AC and AB are tangents, angles B and C are 90 degrees each. In a quadrilateral all four angles add to 360 degrees. Since B+C = 180 degrees, angles A + O must be 180 degrees. A = x and O = angle of the arc = x 2x = 180 x = 90 degrees.
Ohhhh ok that makes sense. Wow thank you!! I understand it.
You are welcome.
Would you mind looking at another?
Double checking my answer
Actually nevermind.
