What is the measure of angle YOB ?

OpenStudy (abbie):

64

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what is angle YAB ?

OpenStudy (abbie):

umm idk....

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

YAB is an inscribed angle, so which theorem would you use to find it?

OpenStudy (abbie):

pythagorean theorem

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you would use the inscribed angle theorem to find angle YAB

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the inscribed angle theorem says that the inscribed angle is half of the central angle or put another way, the central angle is double the inscribed angle

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so visually I'm saying |dw:1401247696634:dw| and angles x and y are tied in this way y = (1/2)x or x = 2y

OpenStudy (abbie):

and what is that?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if x = 64 then y = ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

32?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah...i'm wrong

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

GeraldJRJunior I was hoping abbie would answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hehehe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am I right?

OpenStudy (abbie):

im sorry my OS is really slow

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

try restarting your browser

OpenStudy (anonymous):

go abbie ...u can do it ... answer it ^.^

OpenStudy (abbie):

ummm u solve for x and get 32

OpenStudy (abbie):

y**

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so we have this so far |dw:1401249473696:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

we want to find this angle |dw:1401249518433:dw| how do we do it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait...i'm right?

OpenStudy (abbie):

what next

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

this angle |dw:1401249703024:dw| and this angle |dw:1401249712795:dw| combine to form a right angle (a 90 degree angle)
