Question

What is the value of x?

Answer 1

X equals fifty eight

Answer 2

x = 58

Explanation:

The secant- tangent angle 51° is calculated as half the difference of the intercepted arcs, that is

`(1)/(2)` (160 - x) = 51 ← multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction

160 - x = 102 ( subtract 160 from both sides )

- x = - 58 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = 58
