@vocaloid i need help again

Vocaloid:

when you have two lines that go through a circle and intersect at a single point together it follows this pattern (see attachment) applying this logic to your problem 4(4+2) = 3(2x + 5 + 3) solve for x once you have x, it's asking for the length of KM, so KM = 2x + 5 + 3, so plug in your x value and calculate this

JosephGunnels:

is it possible to get a zero?

JosephGunnels:

when solving for x?

Vocaloid:

yes x = 0 in this case (attaching this because I forgot earlier)

1 attachment
JosephGunnels:

so the answer to the question would be 8?

Vocaloid:

yes

JosephGunnels:

ok can you help me with 3 more questions?

Vocaloid:

ok

JosephGunnels:

JosephGunnels:

these are the 3 questions

Vocaloid:

11) notice how CF is the diameter of the circle, so arc CF = 180 degrees if you take away that 25 degree angle you get arc DEF so DEF is simply 180 - 25 2) same logic, arc HL is half the circle, so arc HL is 180. take away that arc JH and you get JKL (180 - 72) 13) the shape inside the circle is a regular hexagon. the corners of the hexagon split the circle into 6 equal parts. 360/6 = 60 so each arc is 60 degrees. arc NGH is 4 out of the 6 arcs, so 4*60 = 240

JosephGunnels:

so 11. would be 155. 12 would be 108 and 13 would be 240?

Vocaloid:

yes

JosephGunnels:

ok thnxs

JosephGunnels:

hey i got one more question can you help and its my very last question

JosephGunnels:

JosephGunnels:

find the value of the variables

Vocaloid:

|dw:1650345980961:dw|

Vocaloid:

the triangles intersect at the center of the circle which means these sides of the triangles are all equal to the radius |dw:1650346071013:dw| which means the triangles are isosceles triangles, which means these angles are equal |dw:1650346097443:dw|

Vocaloid:

the two angles in the middle, that I've marked, are also equal due to these angles being vertical angles (two straight lines making two angles opposite each other) which means x must also be 75 (both triangles are 75-75-30 triangles)

JosephGunnels:

so y = 75 and x=75?

Vocaloid:

|dw:1650346235628:dw| if these angles are 30, that means these two arcs are also 30 finally, the whole circle is made up four arcs (30 + 30 + y + y). a whole circle is equal to 360, so 30 + 30 + y + y = 360 and you can solve for y

JosephGunnels:

would the two Y's substitute for 2y?

Vocaloid:

yes, you can write y + y as 2y

JosephGunnels:

ok

JosephGunnels:

so y=150?

Vocaloid:

yes

JosephGunnels:

and x=75?

Vocaloid:

yes

JosephGunnels:

ok thnk you very much you have been a very big help

JosephGunnels:

thnk you very much
