What can be said of two inscribed angles of a circle that intercept the same arc?
G
An angle whose vertex is on a circle and whose sides are chords of the circle is an inscribed angle. Therefore, in the given diagram ∠E and ∠F are inscribed angles. The arc HG is the corresponding intercepted arc.
Let's recall Theorem 10.7.

Theorem 10.7 |
|
If two inscribed angles of a circle intercept the same arc, then the angles are congruent. |
Since ∠E and ∠F intercept the same arc they are congruent. By the definition of congruence the angles have the same measure. ∠E ≅ ∠F ⇓ 8x+6= 10x-4 Let's solve this equation.
This matches answer G.
