Need now, will give brainliest: the difference of measures between the arcs subtended by chord ab is 160°. line l is tangent to the circle at point a. find the measure of the angle between the tangent l and secant ab.

  50°

Step-by-step explanation:

As usual, the diagram is not drawn to scale.

The chord divides the circle into two arcs that have a sum of 360°. If we let "a" represent the measure of the smaller arc, then we have ...

  a + (a+160°) = 360°

  2a = 200° . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 160°

  a = 100°

The measure of the angle at A is 1/2 the measure of the subtended arc:

  acute ∠A = a/2 = (1/2)·100° = 50°

Comment on this geometry

Consider a different inscribed angle, one with vertex V on the circle and subtending the same short arc subtended by chord AB. Then you know that the angle at V is half the measure of arc AB. This is still true as point V approaches (and becomes) point A on the circle. When V becomes A, segment VA becomes tangent line l, and you have the geometry shown here.

the answer is. -82562234434584
