Circle problem

Answer 1

@xavier123

Answer 2

Tell me your approach to this problem ...

Answer 3

Does WZ half the circle?

Answer 4

I have no idea, at all. I just started this so I was going to do some practice problems until I figure it out.

Answer 5

If WZ bisects the circle I could see how you may get the answer

Answer 6

from the attachment it looks as if WZ is the diameter to the circle... If that assumption is correct then <YPZ = 180-(25+85) = 70

Answer 7

They should really provide a little more info other then the picture but we can assume that WZ does get close to bisecting it..

Answer 8

will that help in figuring out the rest of the solution ?

Answer 9

I don't know how to get the rest of it.

Answer 10

So there are 180 degrees in half a circle (also refered to as a semicircle)

Answer 11

so I do 180-70?

Answer 12

If you assume BZ is the diameter you know the three interior angles will add up to 180 degrees

Answer 13

So what do you know about the third interior angle?

Answer 14

Not sure:/

Answer 15

25 degrees + 85 degrees + x degrees = 180 degrees

Answer 16

70

Answer 17

right so now its asking for angle XZ and that will include that 70 degrees and the 85 degree angle referring to our circle right?

Answer 18

yes

Answer 19

I added them and got 155

Answer 21

i think its correct

Answer 22

So you got it, good job!
