Question

Could someone please help me with how to solve this problem. No answers or you'll be reported! Medal will be rewarded for help though ^.^

Answer 1

I'd start by drawing a radius to R (from the center). You know the central angle that is formed. This should lead you to the answer.

Answer 2

I just wanted to say that I think it's AWESOME how you posted this question. Such a refreshing change! :)

Answer 3

Okay so I got 90˚ for part of the triangle but I still can't get the other parts?

Answer 4

and your welcome ^.^

Answer 5

You are given the length of the arc. Remember the relationship of the central angle to the subtended arc length?

Answer 6

no.... -.-

Answer 7

:) They are equal!

Answer 8

I though that was it but I but my brain always second guesses it's self :O!!! Thank you

Answer 9

Okay so then because of the angle being 107˚ then the other angle would be 73˚?

Answer 10

Yes, that's right! And you know one more angle already...

Answer 11

which is 90˚??? So 180-73-90=17...but that's not one of the answers

Answer 12

Eeek! Sorry, I made a bad assumption :( I was thinking the base went through the center. OK...you can find the measure of arc RT. You have ANOTHER relationship between an inscribed angle and an arc.

Answer 13

uhhhhhhh.............oh my gosh I'm clueless :\

Answer 14

The angle is 1/2 the measure of the arc.

Answer 15

Okay so then arc RT would equal 73, then would you divide that by two to get 36.5˚?

Answer 16

RT isn't 73 :) That's the mistake I made. You already know angle S, work backwards.

Answer 17

Oh my goodness, I keep on trying to do this but it's so confusing! ^///^

Answer 18

If angle S is 25 degrees, what it RT?

Answer 19

50?

Answer 20

Yep

Answer 21

Okay so where do I work from that (my book didn't teach me any of this)

Answer 22

Almost there! You have an equation about an angle formed by a tangent and a secant...is that in your book?

Answer 23

no but I just found a website if anyone else has any problems ---> http://www.mathwarehouse.com/geometry/circle/tangents-secants-arcs-angles.php

Answer 24

:) You want the first equation

Answer 25

okay so 107-50=57/2=28.5?

Answer 26

Yes!

Answer 27

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH I"M FANNING YOU!!!!

Answer 28

:) No problem, good luck!
