Question: User: Angle ABC = 93°
Angle CED = x°
Line FED is a tangent to the circle
Work out the size of angle EGA in terms of x.
Justify your answer.
1. **State the problem:**
We are given a circle with points A, B, C, E, and G on the circumference and a tangent line FED touching the circle at point E.
We know angle $\angle ABC = 93^\circ$ and angle $\angle CED = x^\circ$.
We need to find the size of angle $\angle EGA$ in terms of $x$ and justify the answer.
2. **Recall important rules:**
- The angle between a tangent and a chord through the point of contact equals the angle in the alternate segment of the circle.
- This is known as the Alternate Segment Theorem.
3. **Apply the theorem:**
Since FED is tangent at E, the angle between the tangent FED and chord EG, which is $\angle CED = x^\circ$, equals the angle in the alternate segment, which is $\angle EGA$.
4. **Conclusion:**
Therefore, by the Alternate Segment Theorem,
$$\angle EGA = x^\circ.$$
