Circle Q is shown. Secant L N and tangent P N intersect at point N outside of the circle. Secant L N intersects the circle at point M. Arc M P is y, arc L P is x, and arc M L is z.





Circle P is shown. Tangents R S and T S intersect at point S outside of the circle to form angle x. The first arc formed is arc y, and the second arc formed is arc z.



Circle X is shown in the diagram.





Circle O is shown. 2 secants intersect at a point outside of the circle to form angle 1. The first arc formed is d, and the second arc formed is b. Arcs a and c are the other 2 arcs outside of the secants.





Circle O is shown. Secants C A and C E intersect at point C outside of the circle to form an angle with measure 36 degrees. Secant C A intersects the circle at point B, and secant C E intersects the circle at point D. Arc B D is 48 degrees.

A circle is shown. Secant R T and tangent U T intersect at point T outside of the circle to form an angle with a measure of 21 degrees. Secant R T intersects the circle at point S. Arc R U is 119 degrees.

A secant and a tangent meet at a 90° angle outside the circle. What must be the difference between the measures of the intercepted arcs?
