Here's a hard geometry problem. I really need your help, Thanks!

in whatever format you like best :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

in other words; find the angle for c and calculate the line :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

when we have an "angle" inside of a circle; lets start with that. we know that the arc length = the angle when the angle is AT THE CENTER of the circle 90 degree angle = 90 degree arc. now pull that angle along the diameter to the edge of the circle; the arc length is the same, but the angle has changed. The arc length is now 2 times the angle

OpenStudy (amistre64):

this is true for any way we position the angle on the circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if the arc length is 90, and half of that would be the angle, that makes those two angles 45, but angle c cant be that length?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

what I got so far

OpenStudy (amistre64):

add 47 and 57 to find the arc on the left

OpenStudy (amistre64):

thats spurious; need to split the left side some how :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

angle DCQ is equal to half the arc measurement of arc DC.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (amistre64):

which would be a :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all right

OpenStudy (amistre64):

couldnt recall that "tidbit" :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey thanks guys for all the help, and thanks for showing me how to do it in black and white!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but either of you before you go, i have several problems to do that are all similar, could you show me how to do one so I can knock them all out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so steps: 1. arc ABC = 2*angle D = 152 2. arc DC = 360 - arc AD - arc ABC = 114 3. angle DCQ = 1/2 arc DC = 57

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oooh thanks!
