How do I do this?

Directrix (directrix):

For H, you need this theorem:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks! :)

Directrix (directrix):

What is the measure of the red arc on the attachment.

Directrix (directrix):

Together, the red arc and the blue arc are the entire 360 so the arcs add up to 360.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so just have to subtract it from 360 right?

Directrix (directrix):

Yes.

Directrix (directrix):

360 - 220 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

140. so.. PR = 140 <S = 40 ?

Directrix (directrix):

Yes. m<S = 40.

Directrix (directrix):

Do the same kind of procedure for #2.

Directrix (directrix):

If arc PTR = b, what is the measure of the rest of the circle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can it be 360-b?

Directrix (directrix):

Correct.

Directrix (directrix):

M<S = 1/2 * ( b - (360 - b) ) M<S = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

[b - (360 - b)] / 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can it still be reduced?

Directrix (directrix):

yes

Directrix (directrix):

1/2 * ( b - (360 - b) ) = 1/2 * ( b - 360 + b) =

OpenStudy (anonymous):

360 / 2 180?

Directrix (directrix):

1/2 * ( b - 360 + b) = 1/2 * ( 2b - 360) = 1/2 *2b - 1/2 * 360 = ?

Directrix (directrix):

1/2 *2b - 1/2 * 360 = b - 180 = m<S

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks :)

Directrix (directrix):

Did you get arc PR as 360 - b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes c:

Directrix (directrix):

For I, this theorem

Directrix (directrix):

I. 1 is correct

Directrix (directrix):

I.2 is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay c:

Directrix (directrix):

3a/4 = 1/2 * (m arc AC - a) 2 * (3a/4) = 2* (1/2) * (m arc AC - a)

Directrix (directrix):

3a/2 = (m arc AC - a)

Directrix (directrix):

3a/2 + a = m arc AC 3a/2 +2a/2 = m arc AC 5a/2 = m arc AC

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh really let me try.

Directrix (directrix):

Please do because what I got does not look right. I'm checking it now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think.. \[\frac{ 6a }{ 8 }+ a\] will do so too, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since if you subtract it with a.. it'll be 6a/8 and divided by 2.. 3a/4 :))

Directrix (directrix):

Yes, but you should write 6a/8 + a in a simplified form. If the answer to a problem is 7, a person does not write the answer as (5 + 2) even though that is correct.

Directrix (directrix):

I do not think 6a/8 + a is correct. It equals 6a/8 + 8a/8 = 14a/8 = 7a/8 which is not 5a/2, the correct answer.

Directrix (directrix):

Would you like me to demonstrate that 5a/2 is correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh. see. yes please?

Directrix (directrix):

1/2 * ( 5a/2 - a) = 1/2 ( 5a/2 - 2a/2) = 1/2 (3a/2) = 3a/4 which is the given measure of <B

Directrix (directrix):

So, m arc AC = 5a/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, right.. *applause* so smart ._.

Directrix (directrix):

Not really.

Directrix (directrix):

What about I.4 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I4, I made it up.. I'm not so sure but yeah..

Directrix (directrix):

90 = 1/2* (m arc AC - m arc DE) 90 = 1/2 * (m arc AC - (90 + a ) )

Directrix (directrix):

Multiply both sides by 2 180 = (m arc AC - (90 + a ) )

Directrix (directrix):

180 = m arc AC - 90 - a

Directrix (directrix):

180 = m arc AC - 90 - a + 90 + a + 90 + a ----------------------------------------- (270 + a) = m arc AC

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mine was (270 + 3a) ..almost .. :|

Directrix (directrix):

I'm getting sleepy. Maybe I should check yours.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, sorry for troubling you. You should get to sleep now :)

Directrix (directrix):

No, not when there are points to lose. There is an "a" missing in this answer. Let's find it.

Directrix (directrix):

Here's the error. I put the wrong value in for the measure of <B.

Directrix (directrix):

90 - a = 1/2* (m arc AC - m arc DE)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm, thank you so much. Oh.. "+a" right..

Directrix (directrix):

90 - a = 1/2 * (m arc AC - (90 + a ) ) 2* (90 - a) = (m arc AC - (90 + a ) )

Directrix (directrix):

180 - 2a = m arc AC - 90 - a

Directrix (directrix):

180 - 2a = m arc AC - 90 - a +90 + a + 90 + a ------------------------------------- 270 - a = m arc AC

Directrix (directrix):

We should check that. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

will do so :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see no errors

Directrix (directrix):

1/2 * ( 270 - a - (90 + a) ) = 1/2 * (270 - a - 90 - a) = 1/2 * ( 180 - 2a) =

Directrix (directrix):

90 - a for m < B. That is what was given.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right. yesss :)

Directrix (directrix):

That is an Algebra work-out exercise.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, which i hate the most xD

Directrix (directrix):

Algebra cannot be escaped. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's right.. x(

Directrix (directrix):

Alrighty, then.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why don't you go to sleep now? you're probably tired

Directrix (directrix):

I thought you had more problems but were sleepy yourself.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah.. but you need sleep. haha

Directrix (directrix):

You're the one who wrote this: directrix: i'm doing both since its almost sleep time :|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's right.. I got no choice x|

Directrix (directrix):

If you want to do another problem now, just post it.

Directrix (directrix):

Post it in a new thread, though.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright but I think this should be the last
