Question

A man hiking through the Ocala National Forest became disoriented after the compass app on his cell phone stopped working. He called local authorities on a non-emergency line to report his situation. Through a series of three separate phone calls, the search-and-rescue team has used cell phone towers to narrow the area to search for the lost hiker.

The three coordinates are located as follows: A (–6, –1), B (2, 6), and C (4, –5). The search-and-rescue team has concluded that the hiker is somewhere within the area bound by the inscribed circle and circumscribed circle formed using the three

Answer 1

coordinates that form the triangle.

Use the three coordinates and graph paper to construct the inscribed circle and circumscribed circle to help the team locate the missing man. Explain using words how you constructed the circumscribed circle and inscribed circle and what steps were involved in the process. You must show all work to receive credit.

Answer 3

can I please have some help on this

Answer 4

Here is what you should get
To construct this graph, first plot the three points they gave you

then construct the inscribed circle. See this

Answer 5

Question 1: Campsite #1, lookout tower, and campsite #2, form a central angle within the circle. If the angle formed is 120°, describe the relationship between the angle and the arc it intercepts. You must show all work to receive credit.

Question 2: An inscribed angle is formed by lookout tower, campsite #1, and campsite #2. If the angle formed is 30 degrees, describe the relationship between the angle and the arc it intercepts along the circle.
