We are able to calculate the total circumference of the circle as 9x

Using the sector formula for arc length we can calculate for the central angle(z) as \(\frac{z}{360}=\frac{4x}{9x}\)

Central angle = 160

We can solve for the inscribed angle by applying rule; central angle = 2 times x inscribed angle ;

\(\frac{160}{2} = 80\)

Ans: D

Hey, how did you calculate the central angle having solved for x? Why is it 4x? Thanks in advance.




Since we are trying to find the central angle for the inscribed angle y, we need the arc length opposite to the angle y, hence we used 4x. We have named the central angle of y as z. Once z is found out using the central angle formula we can just divide it by 2 as per the inscribed angle formula to find y.
