Find the measure of the numbered angle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1338292589671:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that an 'a'?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does that 4 in the middle signify?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the numbered angle

OpenStudy (mertsj):

1/2 the sum of the intercepted arcs

OpenStudy (mertsj):

1/2(3a+4a)=3.5a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

????????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

????????

OpenStudy (mertsj):

What is it you don't understand? The measure of one intercepted arc is 3a. The measure of the other intercepted arc is 4a. 3a+4a is 7a. One-half of 7a is 3.5a.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know i did that but its not one of the answers

OpenStudy (mertsj):

What are the answers? Maybe it says \[\frac{7}{2}a \]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

or \[\frac{7a}{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A=81 b=90 c=94 d=102

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Or maybe it wants you to all up all the arcs and solve for a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

E2020 is never specific

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[4a+4a+7a+3a=360\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[18a=360\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[a=20\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its keeps saying math processing error

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[3.5a=3.5(20)=70\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

type what youre treying to tell me in words

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*trying*

OpenStudy (mertsj):

The sum of the arcs in a circle is three hundred sixty degrees. Add all the arcs and set the sum equal to three hundred sixty degrees. Then solve for a and proceed from there. After you know the numerical value for "a" you can find each arc and from that each angle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you :) im sorry in i frustrated you

OpenStudy (mertsj):

yw

OpenStudy (mertsj):

You did not frustrate me.
