Help! pic below I GIVE MEDALS Given Circle E with diameter AC and M angleDAC=62deg m angle ABC=28deg. and m angleDBC=60deg. Find:m angleBAC, m arc AD

@Eyad think u could help me out??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@heather040200 : I wish ,but i'am about to leave :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's ok tomorrow then?? just tag me I should be on all day

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

are u sure ABC = 28 deg? lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

Directrix (directrix):

m angle ABC=28deg. is incorrect. In the original posted problem, please post the problem exactly as it appears in your text or problem source.

Directrix (directrix):

Using only the diagram, it is possible to find the these: m angleBAC, m arc AD. At least four theorems are in play: 1) An angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle. 2) The measure of an inscribed angle of a circle is one-half its intercepted arc. 3) The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary. 4) If a quadrilateral is inscribed within a circle, opposite angles are supplementary.

@shubhamsrg can ya help me out here :)

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

you should follow @directrix

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@HawkCrimson could u help me plzzz last question promis :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u sure that it says ABC=28deg?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol then which info r u sure about?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like which of the info u said it straight from the actual question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I found angle ABD and DBC but idk if them are right ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think angle BAC = 45 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@heather040200

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry about that ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill show u y i think but because this is only the second time ive ever used this rule and 45 deg is too gud of an answer im not sure if im right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1365607754689:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@heather040200 lol u left again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so to my reasoning the angle at BC is 90 deg cause angle BEC is also 90 deg. u agree? @heather040200

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got it to work finally lol @HawkCrimson

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol well u agree wat wat i just said?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and since that angle is 2x then x would be half of it meaning that angle BAC = 45 deg. u cool with that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u even understand y the arc BC is twice the size of BAC?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1365609778494:dw| u remember this rule?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i used that rule, do u see it now used in ur question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok then u understand now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok and now the final part m arc AD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we'll be using that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

angle ADC = 90 deg cause it extends from the segment AC

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as i say stuff ill be waiting for u to say ok cause this is a bit complicated so keep saying ok or if u dont understand.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright i understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and AC is the diameter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

want to try and see if u can figure out wat to do next?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://assets.openstudy.com/updates/attachments/516389a8e4b057e06e87ee10-directrix-1365484137490-circlee.jpg dont forget to look back at this diagram

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1365612032878:dw| therefore angle DCA = 28 deg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and using the rule that i used to solve for angle BAC |dw:1365612189015:dw| and the ansswer for the m arc AD is 56 :)
