Answer
Angle ABE = 64°
Angle BEC = 48°
Minor arc EC = 134°
Explanation
The key to solving this is to take a look at this image below
According to the tangent-chord theorem, we know that
Tangent Chord angle ABE = (Intercepted arc BE)/2
Angle ABE = (128°/2)
Angle ABE = 64°
Tangent chord angle CED = (Intercepted arc EC)/2
68° = (Minor arc EC/2)
Multiply both sides by 2
136° = Minor arc EC
To find the Angle BEC, we need to first obtain the arc BC
The total angle around a circle is 360°
Arc BE + Arc BC + Arc EC = 360°
128° + Arc BC + 136° = 360°
Arc BC = 360° - 128° - 136°
Arc BC = 96°
Then to find the Angle BEC, the image attached below guides us
So, we can easily say that
Angle BEC = ½ (Arc BC)
Angle BEC = ½ (96°)
Angle BEC = 48°
Hope this Helps!!!
