Question

The measure of minor arc JL is 60°. Circle M is shown. Line segments M J and M L are radii. Tangents J K and L K intersect at point K outside of the circle. Arc J L is 60 degrees. What is the measure of angle JKL? 110° 120° 130° 140°

Answer 1

Answer:

angle JKL =  120 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since arc JL is 60 degrees, the central angle is also 60 degrees.

Point K is the intersection of tanges at J and L, therefore KJM and KLM are 90 degrees.

Consider quadrilateral JKLM whose sum of internal angles = 360.

Therefore

angle JKL + angle KLM + angle LMJ + angle MJK = 360 degrees

angle JKL + 90 + 60 + 90 = 360

angle JKL = 360 - 90 - 60 -90 = 120 degrees

Answer 2

Answer:

120 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since arc JL is 60 degrees, the central angle is also 60 degrees.

Point K is the intersection of tanges at J and L, therefore KJM and KLM are complementary or equal 90 degrees.

look at quadrilateral JKLM whose sum of internal angles = 360.

Therefore

angle JKL plus angle KLM plus angle LMJ plus angle MJK = 360 degrees

angle JKL + 90 + 60 + 90 = 360
