Help please , is this just simply 32 or do I do 360-32

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Neither It's number 2 on this page: http://www.regentsprep.org/regents/math/geometry/gp15/circleangles.htm So the arc YZ is twice the angle x.

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

So would it be 1/2*32

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

Because that is the formula

OpenStudy (runner01):

16

OpenStudy (runner01):

is what i got

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

Iss that the correct answer

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

@agent0smith

OpenStudy (runner01):

ok i used a caculater

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Read this again "the arc YZ is twice the angle X."

OpenStudy (runner01):

yes its 16 medle plz

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

No it is not 16.

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

ohh 32 times 2

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

because x is 32 right

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Yes.

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

Okay thanks

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

So just as you said, this would be 21 * 2

OpenStudy (runner01):

42

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Yes, that would be BC. But the question doesn't ask for BC.

OpenStudy (runner01):

yes

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

42+21

OpenStudy (runner01):

63 is what i got

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

The question asks for arc BAC.

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

Well if we already have 21 and BC would be 21 * 2 The total is 42+21???

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

You've done a question just like this already...

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

OMG , yes bur we need BAC

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

http://assets.openstudy.com/updates/attachments/5762b82ce4b0b588fb0a8568-zarkam21-1466090005254-untitled.png the second question you posted here is like this.

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

You have BC and you need BAC.

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

21

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

Okay well 42 is BC right?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Yes, BC is 42. Now use the same logic you used in that question i just posted (the 2nd one)

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

So in that question, i subtracted 99 from 36,, which means I would need to do 360-21

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

360*

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

No. You already know that arc BC is 42. You need arc BAC.

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

Well the 21 has to come into play

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

It already did.

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

BA is 21 right

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

"You already know that arc BC is 42. You need arc BAC."

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

I don't know how to get A

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

What is A??? You have arc BC and arc BAC. Those two together make a whole circle. You know how many degrees there are in a circle. You know what arc BC is.

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

360-42

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Much better.
