Question:

In a circles with center Q, ZXWQ is a parallelogram where X is a point on the minor arc ZW.  What is the measure of ∠ZQW?

Options:

260°

140°

240°

120°

Correct Answer:

120°

Explanation:

Let ∠ZXW = θ

⇒ Opposite angles in parallelogram are equal

Therefore, ∠ZQW = ∠ZXW,  ⇒ y = θ

Now,

∠ZQW = 2 ∠ZVW

⇒ y = 2 (180° - θ)   (θ = y)

⇒ θ = 360° - 2θ

⇒ 3 θ = 360°

⇒ θ = 120°

⇒ θ = y = 120°
