ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes. now find the individual angles

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you need to use inscribed angle formula : P = QR/2 = (10x+10)/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

P = 80 @ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

find other angles Q and R also, then we can make out what type of triangle it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

R = 55

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Q = 35

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

im getting Q = 45

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oops thats what I meant.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
