OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok... i had questions but the picture you posted answered everythig.... can you give me the measure of the central angle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

measure of the angle at "O" ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u mean wat is my answer or wat the question give? the question never give angle for O but I think should be 120

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes... it is 120 degrees... it is a theorem from geometry... now since the three sides opposite the central angle are congruent AND are on the circle, each angle angle in the triangle (see picture )should be 40 degrees... agreed? |dw:1359827902611:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but now nit find X

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops i know is it 180-40 then 140 divide 2 = 70??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

notice that each triangle is an ISOSCELES triangle (highlighted triangle)...|dw:1359828140209:dw|
