Ray AC is a tangent to circle o at a the diagram is not drawing the scale if the measure of the arc b y is 62 what is the measure of angle yac
A.31
B.38
C.59
D.62
Answered by Pinky
BAC is the right angle, and BY is 62, I got 38

B.38

Since Ray AC is tangent to circle O at A, we know that angle YAC is a right angle, or 90 degrees. Therefore, the answer is not any of the options given.

Thank you for clarifying the diagram and given information. Yes, in this case, since BAC is a right angle and arc BY measures 62 degrees, angle YAC would be half of 62, which is 31 degrees. Therefore, the answer is A.31.
