The figure below shows a triangle with vertices A and B on a circle and vertex C outside it. Side AC is tangent to the circle. Side BC is a secant intersecting the circle at point X:

The figure shows a circle with points A and B on it and point C outside it. Side BC of triangle ABC intersects the circle at point X. A tangent to the circle at point A is drawn from point C. Arc AB measures 100 degrees, and angle CBA measures 42 degrees

What is the Angles of Intersecting Secants Theorem?

The angles of intersecting secants theorem states that the angle formed by two lines (secants or a tangent and a secant) that intersect outside a circle equals half the difference of the measure of the intercepted arcs.

Find m(XA) based on the inscribed angle theorem:

m(XA) = 2(m∠CBA)

Substitute

m(XA) = 2(42)

m(XA) = 84°

Based on the angles of intersecting secants theorem, we would have:

m∠ACB = 1/2[m(AB) - m(XA)]

Substitute

m∠ACB = 1/2[100 - 84]

m∠ACB = 16°

Therefore, applying the angles of intersecting secants theorem, the measure of angle ACB is: 16°.
