What is the measure of AB?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Hi Welcome to openstudy :-) Is there more info to this question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes I'm so new to this I don't know how to post the whole problem. But it's a circle with 115° writing inside the circle

pooja195 (pooja195):

I see maybe @ParthKohli can help :-/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@pathkohli I need your help I'm doing Geometry 2 and some questions I need help on.

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

he is offline maybe I and michale can help

OpenStudy (jchick):

If you could post the picture by saving it or using snipping tool on your computer that would be extremely helpful.

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

you can take a screenshot and use Attach File button or draw it

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I think that we need to know the radius of the circumference

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

|dw:1450473082072:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes something like that

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

according to the drawing of @AlexandervonHumboldt2 , we can write this: \[AB = C \cdot \frac{{115}}{{360}}\] where \(C\) is the length of such circumference |dw:1450543726320:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But the question ask what's the measure of AB?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

in my formula above, \(AB\) represents the measure of the oriented arc from A to B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do I need to be on a computer in order to draw and post the questions?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please post the complete text of the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need help on how to do that I'm new to this and working off a mobile phone @michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please, you can make a screenshot of the text of the question, and then you can attach such screenshot using the "Attach FIle" blue button at the bottom of the post box

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please use this button, in order to attach your files to post box:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't see anything that say attach file under mines it just say post @michele_laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

in that case, please try with your computer or notebook

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok I have another question that ask, Find the circumference of a circle with radius of 4.5 to the nearest hundredth. @michele_laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

here we can apply this formula: \[\Large C = 2\pi r \cong 2 \times 3.14 \times 4.5 = ...?\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

where \(C\) is the requested circumference

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C= 28.26

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

better is \(C=28.27\) since we if we take \(\pi=3.14159\) we get \(C=28.27431\)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so, \(C=28.27\) is the right answer

A segment has end points (-9, -20) and (14, 12). What is the midpoint of this segment?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

the coordinates of such midpoint \(M\), are: \[\Large \begin{gathered} {x_M} = \frac{{{x_1} + {x_2}}}{2} = \frac{{ - 9 + 14}}{2}=...?,\quad \hfill \\ \hfill \\ {y_M} = \frac{{{y_1} + {y_2}}}{2} = \frac{{ - 20 + 12}}{2}=...? \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Xm= 5/2 , Ym= -8/2 ?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right! They are: \[\Large \begin{gathered} {x_M} = \frac{{{x_1} + {x_2}}}{2} = \frac{{ - 9 + 14}}{2} = \frac{5}{2}\quad \hfill \\ \hfill \\ {y_M} = \frac{{{y_1} + {y_2}}}{2} = \frac{{ - 20 + 12}}{2} = \frac{{ - 8}}{2} = - 4 \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the distance between the points (-3, -10) and (4, 9)? Is this just like the same question we just did with the Y and X Midpoints?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

the requested distance is given by the subsequent computation: \[\Large \begin{gathered} d = \sqrt {{{\left( { - 3 - 4} \right)}^2} + {{\left( { - 10 - 9} \right)}^2}} = \hfill \\ \hfill \\ = \sqrt {{7^2} + {{19}^2}} = ...? \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]
