OpenStudy (amistre64):

notice how the central angle defines the arclength; and that when we move that angle to the outter edge the arclength is defined by twice the angle

OpenStudy (amistre64):

your arclength is 110; your angle is on the edge; so x must be half of the arclength

so....

OpenStudy (amistre64):

even works with a striaght line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wow that is a bit confusing. So how exactley did you figure out x? I know that is a stupid questin but geometry was never my strong suit. :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

there is some thrm hidden away in the books that say if an angle is on the outside edge; the arclenth is two times its size; and visaversa; if we know an arclength we half it to get the angle

thanks! Just remembered the theorem and i helped a ton wow i need to read more :|

OpenStudy (amistre64):

lol, so x = 110/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k thanks :) btw i give your answer ***** but geometry gives me ****

OpenStudy (amistre64):

:) good luck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need it

OpenStudy (anonymous):
