∠YUV = 138° or 42°
Step-by-step explanation:
Line segment XY is tangent to circle Z at point U
Let say O is center of circle
=> ∠YUO = 90°
The measure of arc U V is 84 degrees
=> ∠UOV = 84°
OU = OV = radius
=> ∠OVU = ∠OUV
in Δ UOV
∠OVU + ∠OUV + ∠UOV = 180°
=> ∠OUV + ∠OUV + 84° = 180°
=> 2 ∠OUV = 96°
=> ∠OUV = 48°
∠YUV = ∠YUO ± ∠OUV ( Depnding on position )
=> ∠YUV = 90° ± 48°
=> ∠YUV = 138° or 42°
