Help with geometry of circles!! I need to find x.
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
x=21?
what do you mean? @tkhunny
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?
I did thankyouuu!!!
would you please help me with another question?
Depends on the question.
I need to write the equation of a circle with a center at (1,2) and a diameter of 15
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?
7.5?
yes. and do you know the formula of a circle? if not, memorize this: \[(x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2\]
This is an eyeball problem. You should write down the answer about as quickly as you can read it. \((x-1)^{2} + (y-2)^{2} = (15/2)^{2}\)
thank you!! so much guys:)
if I have to write the equation of a circle with a center at (0,0) and a diameter of 20
would the equation go like this: x^2+y^2=10^2
@padalan
yes
