Solution Steps

Step 1: Find the measure of the intercepted arc.

The intercepted arc is given as 290°.

Step 2: Calculate the measure of the missing angle.

The measure of an angle formed by a tangent and a chord is half the measure of the intercepted arc. Therefore, the missing angle is 290°/2 = 145°. However, the diagram shows that the angle is acute, so it must be the supplement of 145°, which is 180° - 145° = 35°.

Final Answer

35°
