Read through (especially theorem 4) of http://www.regentsprep.org/regents/math/geometry/gp15/circleangles.htm This will give you the central angle. What you need (x) is the supplement (i.e. subtract from 180\(^\circ\)) of the central angle.

not too fast...lol Read carefully theorem 4 how to calculate correctly the central angle first. See if you can spot the error.

OpenStudy (jaybear97):

hmm...??

OpenStudy (mathmate):

The central angle is half the sum of the two arcs, which gives you ?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

half the sum of the two arcs = (1/2)(28+42) = ?

OpenStudy (jaybear97):

35

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Excellent, so x=?

OpenStudy (jaybear97):

35?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Please go back to the link and read up on theorem 4 to see what 35 degrees represent, and then reread the diagram of the question. You'll find the answer between the two.
