Quadrilateral ABCD is inscribed in a circle. Find the measure of each of the angles of the quadrilateral. Show your work.
1 answer:
Your statement that angle C and angle D adding to 180 degrees isn't always true. What is always true is that angle A and angle C add to 180 degrees.
Rule: The opposite angles of an inscribed quadrilateral are supplementary (add to 180 degrees)
So,
(angle A) + (angle C) = 180
(x+2) + (x-2) = 180
x+2+x-2 = 180
2x = 180
2x/2 = 180/2
x = 90
Once you know x, you can find the angles
measure of angle A = x+2
measure of angle A = 90+2
measure of angle A = 92 degrees
measure of angle C = x-2
measure of angle C = 90-2
measure of angle C = 88 degrees
Note how A+C = 92+88 = 180
measure of angle D = x-10
measure of angle D = 90-10
measure of angle D = 80 degrees
measure of angle B = 360-A-C-D ... see note below
measure of angle B = 360-92-88-80
measure of angle B = 100 degrees
Note: for any quadrilateral, the four angles add to 360 degrees. So A+B+C+D = 360. We can solve for B to get B = 360-A-C-D

Answer:
x = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
First, distribute the -4 to the parentheses:
-4 + 3x = 2x - 4(1 - 3x)
-4 + 3x = 2x - 4 + 12x
Then, add like terms:
-4 + 3x = 14x - 4
Solve for x:
3x = 14x
0 = 11x
0 = x

Answer:
From the graph, the slope is -4/5 and the y-intercept is 4 so the slope-intercept equation is y = -4/5x + 4. To convert to standard form we'll do:
y = -4/5x + 4
5y = -4x + 20
4x + 5y = 20
