value of angles

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

add up the arc measures BD and CE then divide by 2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

this will give you the measure of angle BFD

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

then you use the fact that BFD + DFE = 180

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I'm using theorem 4 http://www.regentsprep.org/regents/math/geometry/gp15/circleangles.htm

nvm okay so 123 /2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is 61.5

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

84+38 = 122 cut that in half 122/2 = 61

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so angle BFD is 61 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay then what do with the 61?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that angle of 61 degrees adds to DFE and they add to 180

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

BFD + DFE = 180 61 + DFE = 180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

180 - 61?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright so it's 119. Thank you so much ;)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

correct, yw
