\[4x+2x-14+2x+3x+10+74.8=360\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[11x+70.8=360\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[11x=360-70.8\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[11x=289.2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

26.29

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is 26.29 correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[=26.29\times 2\]\[=?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

52.58

help pleasee

OpenStudy (jack1):

sorry... how are you getting 2 decimal places...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idek i dont understand this can u show what to do from the start plz

OpenStudy (jack1):

LG is the diameter... so everything on the left half is 180 degrees... yeah?

OpenStudy (jack1):

so looking at the left half only: GH is 74.8 and HL is 4x

OpenStudy (jack1):

so GH + HL is 180 degrees... with me?

OpenStudy (jack1):

@Addicto_ do you follow so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes im listening

OpenStudy (jack1):

ok, cools so GH + HL = 180 degrees 74.8 + 4x = 180 now please solve for x @Addicto_

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4x = 105.2 x = 26.3

OpenStudy (jack1):

perfect now we need to find AU AU = 2x so AU = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait how am i supposed to find AU

OpenStudy (jack1):

you know the value of x... the arc AU is 2 time the value of x

OpenStudy (jack1):

*times

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 26.3 * 2 ?

OpenStudy (jack1):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

52.6

OpenStudy (jack1):

perfect

OpenStudy (jack1):

also understand now where you were getting 2 decimal places from... whoever wrote the question did it ...wrong... sorry for doubting you @MARC_ ... looks like they rounded the value of arc GH

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks so much
