Question

luffingsails · Answer

This is applying some of the concepts you were just doing. What is the measure of the arc subtended by the angle x along the circle?

luffingsails · Answer

In other words, how many degrees is the arc created by angle x?

ellamoyseyuk · Answer

i don't get how to get it. @luffingsails

luffingsails · Answer

Okay... So, the line going through point O... do you see it? That's a straight line but it is also along the diameter... So that means that the length of the arc on the right side of the circle is 180 degrees. Make sense?

luffingsails · Answer

Half the circle is 180 degrees.

ellamoyseyuk · Answer

yes I see it okay so the straight line on the right and to the end of the right side it =180

ellamoyseyuk · Answer

so the answer is 25

luffingsails · Answer

lol... bingo... you are way ahead of me. the Arc measures 50 degrees and the angle measure of x is half that.

ellamoyseyuk · Answer

okay thanks
