Question

If the measure of arc DEF is 232�, what is the measure of ∠DEF?

Answer 1

Aren't those the same thing?

Answer 2

that's what they gave me

Answer 3

They may have meant that the measure of arc DAF is 232. Since it's a central angle (focused on the midpoint of a circle), it is twice the measure of the inscribed angle DEF (made by any three points on a circle). That means that angle DEF = angle DAF / 2.

Answer 4

so 232 times 2

Answer 5

232 / 2

Answer 6

I think they made a typo. DEF isn't an arc, it's an angle. Arcs only exist in the middle of a circle. Angles are made when two lines intersect. The only arc that could exist in that figure with the endpoints "D" and "F" is arc DAF.

Answer 7

i know i may seem like a blonde right now but my brain is tired is it dividing then

Answer 8

Everyone has blonde moments. Yes, just divide 232 by 2.

Answer 9

I'm fairly certain that's the correct answer.

Answer 10

thanks i owe you big time you are my lifesaver :) <3
