We want to find the value of x.

Let's recall the Congruent Corresponding Chords Theorem.

Congruent Corresponding Chords Theorem

In the same circle two minor arcs are congruent if and only if their corresponding chords are congruent.

We know that the chords ED and AB are congruent. Therefore, by the theorem, the corresponding minor arcs are also congruent. 5x^(∘)= 105^(∘) ⇔ x^(∘)=21^(∘)
