What is the angle where I have the question mark?|dw:1401578111404:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

90?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Go back and look at your drawing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oops lol 75 degrees.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good now|what do you think the angles will be in degrees of the remaining two angles where I have ? dw:1401578440301:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

180-75=105/2=52.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Very good.. Now a line from the center of a circle to any TANGENT line forms what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm guessing 90? Because I'm not actually sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is correct tangent lines on a circle will always from a 90 degree angle with a radius drawn from the center to the tangent point because they are perpendicular. I am going to use the letter Z to represent the Center. THus if angle ZCP = 90 and angle ZCB = 52.5 what is angle BCP?
