Arc Measure
O
?
Nvm
So remember that we said that the angle in the back is half of the arc?
Half?
The angle that we're looking for KLM is going to be equal to that arc
This time we have to double because we know the angle and we're trying to find the arc angle = 1/2 * arc
25.5
no no the angle KNM is 51 51 = 1/2 * arc KM what is KM = ??
51*.5?
51/.5?
I'm so confused??
you divide 51 = 1/2 * x so to get x, you would multiply 2 on both sides or another way to look at it would be 51 = 0.5 * x you divide 0.5 on both sides to get x 51 / 0.5 = ?? It's the same thing
102?
There you go! And since we're looking for angle KLM which is a central angle (that is, it's the angle that has a vertex with the center of the circle) so that angle is going to be the same as the arc
Does that make sense?
It does, thank you. Sorry, I'm slow in math (:
No worries at all! It's my pleasure!! :)
