Arc AB=127 Arc BC=127 how to get measure of angle ACD

|dw:1336760597708:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am assuming dc is a tangent to the circle. is that correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so arcs ab=bc=127 so they addd up to what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ive asked severl ttimes and ive been told its not possible to solve so if being tangent is the way to go then i think so 254

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the triangle supposed to be touching the circle at c? If so it is totally possible to solve this and solve it easily!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes sorry would ti help to post the link

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you post it I will help you solve this easily

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dont mind the letter given in the drawing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the arc lenght of an entire circle? any circle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

360

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you have ab=bc=254. so what is the measure of arc ac?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry that is ab+bc=254

OpenStudy (anonymous):

127

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no. ac =360-254. Do you understand that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so ac=106. here is a theorem that you definitely learned and need to remember: 1/2 arc ac= angle acd

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so acd comes to53

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct. do you want a link to an online text for the theorem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pls

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok hold on.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://www.herricks.org/highschool.cfm?subpage=11368 see chapter 13 , specifically section 13-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):
