Circle O and circle P are congruent. What can you conclude from the diagram? https://study.ashworthcollege.edu/access/content/group/45b8c516-1008-46d7-aa1d-bb9b62c786ff/geometry_exam_12_files/mc001-1.jpg

@Directrix

Directrix (directrix):

I think you need the theorem that begins: In the same circle or in congruent circles, congruent central angles have ________________________________? That would be, I think, what you could conclude. But, first look up that theorem.

Directrix (directrix):

Rather than guess, look up the theorem. In the same circle or in congruent circles, congruent central angles have congruent arcs. So, what are the two congruent arcs for central angles O and P. Those are the arcs cut off by the angles. @OpenSessame

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No i looked it up..

Directrix (directrix):

That's good.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is a whole bunch of them according to my textbook i didnt know which one you wanted

Directrix (directrix):

First, you have to see that the two circles are congruent, that O and P are central angles that are marked congruent. Then, read the theorem that talks about the arcs of congruent central angles of congruent circles.

Directrix (directrix):

So, what are the two congruent arcs for central angles O and P.

ca and fd?

Directrix (directrix):

There are no numbers on the diagram so I don't know where 11 comes from.

Directrix (directrix):

This is the diagram I'm seeing.

Directrix (directrix):

> ca and fd? No, these arcs are not cut off by the two angles.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then i have no idea...

Directrix (directrix):

What are the names of the arcs I marked in blue in the attachment?

Directrix (directrix):

Arc AB and Arc what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

DE?

Directrix (directrix):

Yes, Arc AB and Arc DE are congruent.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So thats what we know?

Directrix (directrix):

That is what I conclude from the diagram. If you have answer options, it may be that we are to choose from among those.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That was one of them

Directrix (directrix):

Are the major arcs another option: Arc BCA is congruent to Arc EFD ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have cab and fde?

Directrix (directrix):

I don't see that as being correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

me Either

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think what we said first is right.

Directrix (directrix):

Yes, I do, too. Option C.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I Posted another question! Thanks!

Directrix (directrix):

I'll look for it.
