Proof:
Statement 1: m Arc RX = 100. Reason 1: Given
Statement 2: m Ang RSX = ____. Reason 2: The measure of an inscribed angle is � the measure of the intercepted arc.
Statement 3: m Ang RSX = 50. Reason 3: Substitution
Statement 4: m Ang T = 50. Reason 4: Given
Statement 5: m Ang T = m Ang RSX. Reason 5: Substitution
Statement 6: Ang T = Ang RSX. Reason 6: Definition of congruent angles
Statement 7: RT is a tangent segment. Reason 7: Given
Statement 8: m Ang TRS = _____. Reason 8:An angle formed by a secant and a tangent is ___ the measure of its intercepted arc.
Statement 9: m Ang SXR = � m Arc RS. Reason 9:The measure of an inscribed angle is � the measure of the intercepted arc.
Statement 10: m Ang TRS = m Ang SXR. Reason 10: Substitution
Statement 11: Ang TRS = Ang SXR. Reason 11: Definition of congruent angles
Statement 12: Triangle RST is similar to Triangle XRS. Reason 12: ___ Similarity Theorem
Figure 1: Segment UX is a diameter, and segment TZ is a tangent. m Arc TX = 50, m Arc XW = 30, and m Arc UV = 20. Note: Ang 8 is Ang XTU, NOT Ang XTV.
Figure 2: PE and PF are tangent segments.
Figure 3: AT is a tangent segment, and AS is a secant segment.
Figure 4: Secants OA and OB and tangent OC are drawn from point O.
Figure 5: RT is a tangent segment, m Ang T = 50, and m Arc RX = 100.

Answer by richard1234(7193) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I believe the third website is the only one used, since the others have irrelevant points/figures.

19. Applying the fact that the inscribed angle is half the measure of the arc, angle RSX = 50.

20, 21. The angle TRS is equal to one half the measure of the arc. Given this, we can say that angle TRS = (1/2)RS = angle SXR because they both cover the same arc (okay, I probably just said statement 9).

22. Combining statements 6 and 11, we have established AA (two sets of congruent angles), implying AAA similarity.
