TX
The measure of angle VTX is equal to half the measure of its intercepted arc, which is
arc VX. The measure of arc VW is 33ⴗ and the measure of arc WX is 28ⴗ, so the
measure of arc VX is 33ⴗⴙ28ⴗ, or 61ⴗ. So, the measure of angle VTX is 61ⴗ, or 30.5ⴗ.

The measure of arc TX is equal to twice the measure of its intercepted angle,
which is angle TVX. In Questions 6 and 7 you found that the measure of angle VXT
is 90ⴗ and the measure of angle VTX is 30.5ⴗ, so the measure of angle TVX is 180ⴗⴚ
(90ⴗⴙ30.5ⴗ), or 59.5ⴗ. So, the measure of arc TX is 2 ⴛ 59.5ⴗ, or 119ⴗ.
First, find the measure of angle VZY. The measure of angle VZY is equal to half the
sum of the measures of the two intercepted arcs, VW and TU. The measure of arc
VW is 33ⴗ. Angle TAU is a right angle, so the measure of arc TU is 90ⴗ. The measure
of angle VZY is (33ⴗⴙ90ⴗ), or 61.5ⴗ. In Question 8 you found that the measure of
angle TVX is 59.5ⴗ. So, the measure of angle VYZ is 180ⴗⴚ(61.5ⴗⴙ59.5ⴗ), or 59ⴗ.

Angles ZYX and VYZ form a linear pair. In Question 9 you found that the measure of
angle VYZ is 59ⴗ, so the measure of angle ZYX is 180ⴗⴚ59ⴗ, or 121ⴗ.
Because line SU is tangent to circle A at point U, angle AUS is a right angle. So, the
measure of angle ZUS is equal to 90ⴗ minus the measure of angle AUZ. The measure
of angle ZAU is 90ⴗ and the measure of angle AZU is 61.5ⴗ (angles AZU and VZY
are vertical angles and thus congruent). So, the measure of angle AUZ is 180ⴗⴚ
(90ⴗⴙ61.5ⴗ), or 28.5ⴗ. This means that the measure of angle ZUS is 90ⴗⴚ28.5ⴗ,
or 61.5ⴗ.
