\n" ); document.write( "
Let the intercepted/smaller arc be A\r\n" );
document.write( "Then larger arc = 360  -  A\r\n" );
document.write( "As the measure of the angle formed by 2 tangents to a circle is \"1%2F2\" the difference between the 2 arcs, we get: \r\n" );
document.write( "                             360 - 2A = 160 ----- Cross-multiplying\r\n" );
document.write( "                                 - 2A = 160 - 360\r\n" );
document.write( "                                 - 2A = - 200\r\n" );
document.write( "Intercepted/smaller arc, or \"highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C3%2C+A%2C+%22=%22%2C+%28-+200%29%2F%28-+2%29%29%29%29\" = 100o
