In the diagram below, DE and EF are tangent to O. What is the measure of DF ?

Join OD, OF
then use the fact that the radius and tangent are perpendicular
|dw:1431903474303:dw|
OpenStudy (rational):
since two angles add up to 180, the other two angles must add up to 180 :
\[DF+94=180\]
solve \(DF\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So DF would equal 86 Degrees?
OpenStudy (rational):
Yep!
OpenStudy (rational):
actually there is an easy way

@rational Question: why can't we use: |dw:1431903686901:dw|
OpenStudy (rational):
was about to say that lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hehehe. ok
OpenStudy (rational):
didn't notice 274 initially
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So for the Shortcut I would take the Mesure of ODF and Subtract it by 360?
