Circle O is shown. Tangents X Z and Y Z intersect at point Z outside of the circle. The first arc formed is arc b, and the second arc formed is arc a.





Circle C is shown. 2 secants intersect at a point outside of the circle to form angle 1. The first arc formed is 36 degrees, and the second arc formed is 106 degrees.

A secant and a tangent meet at a 90° angle outside the circle. What must be the difference between the measures of the intercepted arcs?
A circle is shown. Secant R T and tangent U T intersect at point T outside of the circle to form an angle with a measure of 21 degrees. Secant R T intersects the circle at point S. Arc R U is 119 degrees.
