what is x
what is x in general? or do you have a question that needs solved for x?
because the arcs are the same length that means that the segments are also the same length. therefore you have to set them equal to one another making 5x+13=12x-8. add 8 to both sides to get 5x+21=12 then subtract 5x from both sides to get 21=7x. dive both sides by 7 and x=3
Find the measure of Angle T.
thanks so much can you help me with this one?:)
yeah. if I remember correctly on the second question any time you have an arc like that with an angle right next to it you take the degree of the arc and divide it by two to get the value of the angle. so therefore this specific angle is half of the arc 103 making its value 51.5 degrees.
anything else?
Find the value of x
i can do that just give me a minute
ok so the way the formula works you would set it up as (78/360) multiplied by 2pi3. so 78/360=.216...multiplied by 2pi3 = 4.084in. which is your x value
ok thanks so much and i only have one more lol this is hard Whats x
im unsure on this one. you'll have to see if someone else can answer this for you. sorry.

so use that and solve for "x"
but, @jdoe0001 how do you know that the two segments are the same lengths?
they don't have to be, they can both very well have different lengths, the cross-product property still holds
if they're the same length, so they're, if they're not, so they're not
oh, cool. I learned something new
