1. What is angle DFE? https://aps9728-mckinley-ccl.gradpoint.com/Resource/6123637,8F5,111,0,0,0,0/Assets/testitemimages/geometry_b/circles/mc076-1.jpg 2.What is angle BKD? https://aps9728-mckinley-ccl.gradpoint.com/Resource/6123637,8F5,111,0,0,0,0/Assets/testitemimages/geometry_b/circles/mc071-1.jpg

Pleaseeeeeee help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I will be so thankful!

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

\(c = \dfrac{1}{2}(a + b) \)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

For the first problem above. When 2 chords intersect inside the angle, the measure of angle c is half the sum of the arcs shown.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

In the first problem, then, the measure of angle DFE is half the sum of the measures of arcs BC and DE.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Are you following so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

We don't know the measures of arcs BC and DE, but all we need to know is the sum of the measures.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

A full circle is an arc of 360 degrees.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Since the figure shows 4 arcs, if you subtract the known measures from 360, you get the sum of the measures of BC and DE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, i understand

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

What is 360 - 84 - 38 =

OpenStudy (anonymous):

238

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Good. That means that the sum of the measures of arcs BC and DE is 238.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but we need the angles

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Now divide 238 by 2 to get the measure of angle DFE

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

That solves problem 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

119?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What about the other one?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

For the second problem, use the formula above directly.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

63?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

\(m \angle BKD = \dfrac{1}{2}[m (arc)AKE + m(arc) BKD] \)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

correct
