If I were to do this problem:

I would join CL, CM and CN. I would also note that LM and MN are tangents to the circle.

Please show us what you have tried and exactly where you are stuck.

Well my textbook teaches us to use a formula like this:

I'm stuck at this part: The problem is that I'm not even sure if I'm supposed to solve for the major arc or the minor arc?! The question doesn't give us the measure of either. So I can't apply the formula they gave us...

Here's the instruction for the page

Great!

Please tell me

mMTN + mMN = ?

Hi thanks for your fast reply!

mMTN + mMN = 360 degrees

ok thanks for your help but my teacher has replied to my email and i get it now

Hi thanks for your fast reply!

mMTN + mMN = 360 degrees

Combine this with what mMTN - mMN equals (using the formula you stated).

Now you have two equations in two unknowns. Just solve this system.
