Help with geometry of circles!! I need to find x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

It's important that W and Z are the terminal points for both the angle at X and the angle at Y. This must mean that those two angles are equal!! For future reference, using Upper Case X for an Angle Name and Lower Case x for a variable can be confusing. You may wish to change designations or make the difference more obvious.

SOLVE THE EQUATION: x+2 = 3x-40

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=21?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean? @tkhunny

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. draw a line w-z. And use the theorem: Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal. Hence, x+2 = 3x-40. Got it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did thankyouuu!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would you please help me with another question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Depends on the question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need to write the equation of a circle with a center at (1,2) and a diameter of 15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't want to give you the answer right away, but want you to answer few questions. What do you think is the radius if Diameter is 15?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7.5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. and do you know the formula of a circle? if not, memorize this: \[(x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2\]

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

This is an eyeball problem. You should write down the answer about as quickly as you can read it. \((x-1)^{2} + (y-2)^{2} = (15/2)^{2}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!! so much guys:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if I have to write the equation of a circle with a center at (0,0) and a diameter of 20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would the equation go like this: x^2+y^2=10^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@padalan

OpenStudy (phi):

yes
