(a) name the minor arc name the major arc
(b) if the minor arc is 112°, what is the measure of the rest of the circle arc length?
(c) which line is the tangent? which line is the secant?
(d) if xy is 11 and ux is 9, what is the length of uv? show all work or no credit.

Part a) minor arc: XY; major arc: XVY

Part b)

Part c) The tangent line is UV and the secant line is XY

Part d)  or  

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) we know that

The major arc is the larger arc joining two points on the circumference of a circle. Is an arc larger than a semicircle.

The sum of major and minor arcs is the whole circle, 360°

In this problem, possible major arcs are

VYX, VXY, XVY

and the corresponding minor arcs are

VX, VY, XY

Part b) we know that

The sum of major and minor arcs is the whole circle, 360°

so

Let

x------> measure minor arc

y-------> measure of major arc

we have

substitute

Part c) we know that

A tangent line intersects a circle at exactly one point.

In this problem

The tangent line is UV

A secant line intersects a circle in two points.

In this problem

The secant line is XY

Part d) we know that

The Intersecting Secant Theorem States: When two secant lines intersect each other outside a circle, the products of their segments are equal

so

Simplify

step-by-step explanation:

square root of 36/6 = 2.449489743

square root of 16/6 = 1.632993162

square root of 6 = 2.449489743

the answer is square root of 16/6 because the square root of 36/6 is the same answer as square root of 6 = 2.449489743
