Help with geo?

OpenStudy (raden):

use the proportion of : 90/360 = length arc BC/circumference of circle

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

.25?

OpenStudy (raden):

90/360 = 20/(2*pi*r) 1/4 = 10/pi*r pi * r = 40 r = 40/pi r = 40/3.14 = ...

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

12.73885350318471

OpenStudy (raden):

yup, that's right

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

Could we do two more? :D Thanks for helping me!

OpenStudy (raden):

okay

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

I need to find the length of segment MP if NP is a tangent to circle M

OpenStudy (raden):

use the pythagorean theorem : MP^2 = MN^2 + NP^2 MP^2 = 7^2 + 15^2 solve for MP

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

MP^2 = 49 + 225 MP^2 = 274 MP = 16.55294535724685

OpenStudy (raden):

correct :)

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

Thanks!! Last one?:D

OpenStudy (raden):

yeah :)

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

I need to find the measure of angle P, if the measure of angle M is 35 degrees (same circle)

OpenStudy (raden):

<P + 35 + 90 = 180

OpenStudy (raden):

solve for angle <P

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

180/360?

OpenStudy (raden):

<P + 35 + 90 = 180 <P + 125 = 180 both sides subtracted by 125 <P + 125 - 125 = 180 - 125 <P = 55

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

Ooh, I have to get <P by itself, okay, I think Iget that, Thanks you C:

OpenStudy (raden):

you're welcome ;)
