Question 1133469: In the diagram below, ⊙P has radius 3, ⊙Q has radius 5, and PQ= √5+√21. Find mAXB⌢ to the nearest degree.

How this problem looks: There are two circles, P and Q. They intersect at points A and B. Two tangents off of circle Q intersect at P, the center of Circle P. These are also the radii of circle P. Two tangents off of circle P intersect at Q, the center of Circle Q. These are also the radii of circle Q. On circle P, between points A and B, lies point X. I have to find the measure of arc AXB.
I know the radii form a kite, which forms 4 right triangles, but I am having a hard time finding the angle measures of these triangles. I also know I have to find the measure of P, but I am not able to do so.
