Show all work or no credit.

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:a) XY , XVYb) 248°c) UV , UYd) 6√5 = 13.42Step-by-step explanation:a) The minor arc is XY    The major arc is XVYb) ∵ The measure of the minor arc is 112°     ∵ The measure of the circle is 360°     ∴ The measure of the rest arc = 360 - 112 = 248°c) UV is the tangent to the circle    UY is the secant to the circled) ∵ UV is a tangent to the circle at V     ∵ UY is a secant to the circle     ∴ (UV)² = (UX) × (UY)     ∵ UX = 9 and XY = 11 ⇒ ∴ UY = 11 + 9 = 20      ∴ (UV)² = 9 × 20 = 180       ∴ UV = √180 = 6√5 = 13.42
