Alex drew a circle with right triangle PRQ inscribed in it, as shown below: The figure shows a circle with points P, Q, and R on it forming an inscribed triangle. Side PQ is a chord through the center and angle R is a right angle. Arc QR measures 80 degrees. If the measure of arc QR is 80°, what is the measure of angle PQR? 50° 40° 80° 70°
are you there?
yeah
see if Qr=80 then, QPR=80/2
angle subtending arc= arc/2 (formula)
oh alright
so PQR=40
now, using angles of triangles. total angles (when added) =180 what we have here is 90+40+x=180
no its not 40
90+40(which we took out+x(which we have to find)=180 now solve for x, what do you get?
50
Good! Thatz your answer
ok thank you :)
No problem,
can you help me with one more?
Which of the following is a step in constructing a circle inscribed in a triangle? Use a compass to locate the intersection of the midpoint of each side. Use the perpendicular bisectors to find the center of the circle. Use a compass to locate the intersection of the altitude of each side. Use the angle bisectors to find the center of the circle.
I will try
hmmm.....
is it the second one?
nopes. I dont think that. I think its D, but I am not sure.
ok, i'll just google it to be sure lol
okay....
If you liked my response, dont forget to medal @ItzYaBoiGio
alright
