Check the final answer first, then review the worked steps.
Problem
The measure of an angle formed by two tangents drawn from an external point to a circle is half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.
Step-by-step solution
The angle formed by two tangents from an external point to a circle is half the difference of the intercepted arcs. The intercepted arcs are 236 degrees and 124 degrees.
Answer
\frac{1}{2}(236^{\circ} - 124^{\circ})
