mathstudent55 · Answer

In other words, what are the measures of angles 1 and 2 in the figure above?

anonymous · Answer

um i don't not know but i'll guess 1. is 46 and 2. wouldn't it be the same as 1.

mathstudent55 · Answer

How do you come up with 46?

mathstudent55 · Answer

Btw, you are correct that angles 1 and 2 are congruent.

mathstudent55 · Answer

This should help:
The angle made by a tangent to a circle and a radius to the point of tangency is a right angle. Therefore, its measure of 90.
