∠ACE is formed by two secants intersecting outside of a circle. If minor arc BD = 25°, minor arc AB = 115°, and minor arc DE = 115°, what is the measure of ∠ACE?

Answer:

m∠ACE=[tex]40\°[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The measurement of the external angle is the semi-difference of the arcs which comprises

In this problem

m∠ACE represent a external angle

so

m∠ACE=[tex]\frac{1}{2}(minor\ arc\ AE- minor\ arc\ BD)[/tex]

Find the minor arc AE

[tex]minor\ arc\ AE=360\°-minor\ arc\ AB-minor\ arc\ BD-minor\ arc\ ED[/tex]

substitute the values

[tex]minor\ arc\ AE=360\°-115\°-25\°-115\°=105\°[/tex]

m∠ACE=[tex]\frac{1}{2}(105\°-25\°)[/tex]

m∠ACE=[tex]40\°[/tex]
