Hello!

To answer this question we need to find the factors of -120.

The total set (both negative and postive! ) are the following:

1, -120
2, -60
3, -40
4, -30
5, -24
6, -20
8, -15
10, -12
12, -10
15, -8
20, -6
24, -5
30, -4
40, -3
60, -2
120, -1

After looking over all of these factors, we can see that 10 · -12 is equal to not only -120, but when the multiplication sign is replace by addition, it is equal to -2!

Hope this helps.

In the above figure (not drawn to scale), Find ∠AEC.

n200080 [17]

Answer:

C. 75°

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a circle and we are asked to find the measure of angle AEC.

We will use Intersecting chords theorem to find the measure of angle AEC, which states that measure of angle formed inside a circle by two intersecting chords is one half the sum of the measure of the arcs intercepted by the angle and its vertical angle.

We can see that measure of arc AC is 110 degrees and measure of its vertical arc BD is 40 degrees.

$m\angle AEC=\frac{110^o+40^o}{2}$
