(GEOMETRY QUESTION, PLEASE HELP!!!!) For the next 7 questions, let trapezoid GHIJ be inscribed in circle Q. 1. If the measure of arc HL equals 40 degrees calculate the measure of arc IO.? 2. If m

lets begin wid few observations : i) its an isosceles trap : HI || GJ , and , HG \(\cong\) IJ ii) QL is perpendicular bisector of HI , and, GJ (cuz HI || GJ)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

any ideas for Q1 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I tried and got 140 degrees

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

1. If the measure of arc HL equals 40 degrees calculate the measure of arc IO.? IO = LO - LI = 180 - HL = 180 - 40

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Perfect !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

great!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

2. If m<GJI=78 degrees, calculate for m<GHI

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they are congruent?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

if you see, \(\angle GJI\) and \(\angle GHI\) are subtended by the same chord \(GI\) so they are congruent !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i calculate for GHI now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 102 degrees

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

GHI + HGJ = 180 GHI = 180 - HGJ = 180 - GJI = 180 - 78 = 102

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for #3 I got 54?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

i got 54 too. you've used pythagoras or something else ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pythagoras

OpenStudy (anonymous):

#4 I got 60.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

im still thinking hw to solve.. . LO

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5. is the only one I really need now, I solved the others

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let the radius be r then in ΔQLI QL^2 + LI^2 = QI^2 (r-6)^2 + 18^2 = r^2 r = 30 So dia LO = 30*2 = 60

OpenStudy (anonymous):

corret?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

i dont see how \(\triangle\)QLI is right triangle, lets get back to this later. im working on #5 .. .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

arc length = \(\theta * radius\) \(\theta = 156 * \frac{\pi}{189} \) radius = ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

im stuck here... thats where you're also stuck right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you sure its not "arc measure" ? cuz, arc length can be anything for a given angle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is "measure" sorry many question, I ge jumbled with my words

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

central angle = 2*inscribed angle
