What does the x degrees refer to?
and what does mBC = 112 mean?

anonymous · Answer

i dont have English questions lol. I make straight A's in English History and Science related things. C's in math D:

anonymous · Answer

mBC is the circumference or whatever between B and C

anonymous · Answer

and X is a unknown circumference that you have to find using the given information but i don't know how

alekos · Answer

OK  so x is not in degrees, but is the arc length between B & D. 
and mBC is the arc length between B & C, not the circumference.

Give me 5 minutes

i think x=84 and y=82

alekos · Answer

where did you get that from?

anonymous · Answer

Yeah that, didnt know what to call it other than the fact that its the length between the two points. 

14= 112/2 x=112 so x would equal 84 and 2y+84+112=360
2y=164=82

anonymous · Answer

anonymous · Answer
