who can help im lost
with?
no im lost...anyways ill try to solve and ill get bac to you soon :p
sorry thts the wrong one one sec
oh ok its fine
|dw:1414365331256:dw| The easiest way is to draw a diameter (necessarily perpendicular to the tangent, and use the inscribed angle theorem.
hmmmmmmmm
omg this is only confusing me
You must be studying circles, chords, tangents, and secants and their associated theorems. What do you know about the inscribed angle theorem?
yep one sec ill get my notes
Theorem: If two chords intersect within a circle, each of the angles formed is equal in degrees to 1/2 the sum of the arcs intercepted by it and its vertical angle.
Does that help
@bibby I hate to bug you, but could u help if you have time
No, the measure of an inscribed angle is 1/2 the measure of its intercepted arc. I'm trying to avoid the complexities of the therem you stated. |dw:1414366929473:dw| The inscribed angle is FGH. Can you figure out its measure?
Not FGH, FCH
either 30 or 220
What is the intercepted arc of angle FCH?
10
@this..war..willend
Well|dw:1414367980937:dw| what's the measure of ACF, then?
80
Bingo!
90 ? whole thing
Yes, a right angle measures 90 degrees and it is formed by perpendicular lines.
i just put 80?
Well, the answer space already has the degree symbol on it, so 80 would be just right.
