A circle is a curve sketched out by a point moving in a plane. The value of x that will make the Secant and Tangent Angles true for the circle is 17/25.
What is a circle?
A circle is a curve sketched out by a point moving in a plane so that its distance from a given point is constant; alternatively, it is the shape formed by all points in a plane that are at a set distance from a given point, the centre.
For the given circle, as per the Secant and Tangent Angles theorem, the measure of the angle formed by two tangents can be written as,
∠WVU = (arc WU + arc WU)/2
5x + 17 = [(37x + 5) + (23x - 5)]/2
2(5x + 17) = (37x + 5) + (23x - 5)
10x + 34 = 37x + 5 + 23x - 5
10x - 37x - 23x = 5 - 5 - 34
-50x = -34
x = 34/50
x = 17/25
Hence, the value of x is 17/25.
