OpenStudy (anonymous):

help please

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

have a look at this page http://www.regentsprep.org/Regents/math/geometry/GP15/CircleAngles.htm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you help me? I think it is 35. Im failing this class and need help

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

35 is correct you subtract the arc measures (big - small) and then divide by 2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

coincidentally, they use the same numbers in that page I gave you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you. Do you have time for another question?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

sure

3. In the figure, what is the value of x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

45 60 75 90

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

|dw:1401657468442:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

|dw:1401657497633:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1401657536858:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

The arc measure is the same as the central angle |dw:1401657541245:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So how would i get an answer from that? I posted another pic with the x's because they did not show up the first time

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

So we have this quadrilateral |dw:1401657569934:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

then use the idea that all 4 angles of a quadrilateral must add to 360 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and im officially lost

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what are these angles here |dw:1401657827627:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

45?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

those are square angle markers to denote right angles right angles are always 90 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh okayy. so 90 and 90 is 180? right?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so you will have these 4 angles: x, 90, x, 90 |dw:1401657977793:dw|
