Find the measure of the numbered angle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):

Total angle in a circle is 360°, You know 3 of them find the 4th

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 110

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that not an option

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

110 is your central angle, its not angle 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so what do I do?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

find those two inscribed angles first

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

for angle 5, those two angles are remote interior angles. so angle 5 woudl be sum of those two angles.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

that inscribed angle is half if central angle 115

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

since you found the other missing central angle as 110, corresponding inscribed angle at that corner wouldbe half of 110

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

add those two

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i think I may have it...

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good :) if u can, tell me what u get when u add those two angles :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well i went with 105

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

thats wrong

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):

|dw:1369886775902:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay...well see i ended up with 108.5 i think and so idk what i did wrong

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

check ur calculation 115/2 + 110/2 = ?

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):

Okay I get it sorry

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

@rajee_sam , one sec il get back to u after finishing this... :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

57.5+55 112.5

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

thank you :) that equals angle 5, cuz its the sum of remote angles of the exterior angle 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay awesome! thanks...I have a few left on hw can you check them in a few mins I will try and finish them first.

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):

No I see my mistake

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):

Those are not the central angles that are given to us

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

sure post :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes, angle 5 is not the cetral angle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay well I will make a new post and tag you so that you can help @rajee_sam (:

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

50, 115 and 85 are central angles though
