hartnn (hartnn):

angle DEF is inscribed by the arc DCF , so first can u find measure of arc DCF ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how would i do that

hartnn (hartnn):

arc DCF and arc DEF forms entire circle, so arc DCF + arc DEF = 360 from this.

hartnn (hartnn):

arc DEF = 232 already given

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be 128

hartnn (hartnn):

correct! now since, angle DEF is inscribed by the arc DCF we have angle DEF = (1/2) arc DCF = ... ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lost

hartnn (hartnn):

we already have arc DCF = 128 just plug that in angle DEF = (1/2) arc DCF = (1/2) *128 = ... ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so 0.5+0.5*128

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i solve that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or 232*0.5+0.5*128

hartnn (hartnn):

why 0.5 + .. ? its just 0.5*128 = 64 = angle DEF

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am sorry i am slow so u tell just to do 128*0.5

hartnn (hartnn):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

64 is the answer and that it

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, correct :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks so much

hartnn (hartnn):

welcome ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does diameter mean

hartnn (hartnn):

diameter is twice the radius of the circle, |dw:1373398743154:dw|
