Geometry help please D: https://mansfield.owschools.com/media/g_geo_2014/7/group151.gif x = 20 60 100

OpenStudy (delilah):

Okay...so what equation do you have so far? (that is...if you've started it)

OpenStudy (mathidiot):

I have no idea what to do

OpenStudy (mathidiot):

The lesson notes don't really tell me anything helpful

OpenStudy (delilah):

Well fudge sticks. What DO the notes say that might be at least a tinge bit helpful?

OpenStudy (delilah):

anything?????

OpenStudy (mathidiot):

umm.... Theorem 7-13 The measure of the angle formed by two secants intersecting outside the circle equals half the difference of the intercepted arcs. Theorem 7-14 The measure of the angle formed by a tangent ray and a secant ray intersecting outside the circle is equal to half the difference of the intercepted arcs. Theorem 7-15 The measure of the angle formed by two tangent rays intersecting outside the circle is half the difference of the intercepted arcs.

OpenStudy (mathidiot):

it give examples for each but i would have to write it in the equation thing

OpenStudy (delilah):

oml *face palm*

OpenStudy (mathidiot):

sorry xD

OpenStudy (mathidiot):

ill try to print screen it hold on

OpenStudy (mathidiot):

Alright so, that wont work

OpenStudy (mathidiot):

give me a few minutes

OpenStudy (mathidiot):

GOT IT

OpenStudy (delilah):

ermmm ok

OpenStudy (mathidiot):

OpenStudy (mathidiot):

OpenStudy (phi):

you need to "understand" what this means Theorem 7-13 The measure of the angle formed by two secants intersecting outside the circle equals half the difference of the intercepted arcs.

OpenStudy (mathidiot):

It's hard for me to understand that for some reason

OpenStudy (phi):

two secants intersecting outside the circle that is what you have. Do you see two lines that meet out side the circle (and they form an angle)

OpenStudy (mathidiot):

OpenStudy (mathidiot):

Oh yeah I see that

OpenStudy (phi):

now ** half the difference of the intercepted arcs.*** "intercepted arc" are the "arcs" between the two lines. they tell you the size of one of the arcs. do you see it? what size is it ?

OpenStudy (mathidiot):

No I don't see it
