Work Shown:
C is the midpoint of segment EF. This means that EC = CF. In other words, the two pieces are congruent.
Use substitution and solve for x
EC = CF
5x-13 = 3x-5
5x-13+13 = 3x-5+13
5x = 3x+8
5x-3x = 3x+8-3x
2x = 8
2x/2 = 8/2
x = 4
Now that we know that x = 4, we can use this to find EC and CF
Let's compute EC
EC = 5x - 13
EC = 5*x - 13
EC = 5*4 - 13 ... replace x with 4
EC = 20 - 13
EC = 7
Let's compute CF
CF = 3x - 5
CF = 3*x - 5
CF = 3*4 - 5 ... replace x with 4
CF = 12 - 5
CF = 7
As expected, EC = CF (both are 7 units long).
By the segment addition postulate, we can say EC+CF = EF
EC+CF = EF
EF = EC+CF
EF = 7+7
EF = 14
After reading the problem, you are often asked to solve it.
Rearranging to standard form
= (x - 7)^2 + (y + 5)^2 = -65 + 49 + 25
(x-7)^2 + (y+5)^2 = 9
so the centre is at (7,-5) and the radius is 3
so the circle will be entirely in Quadrant 4.
Answer:
m∠FEH = 44°
m∠EHG = 64°
Step-by-step explanation:
1) The given information are;
The angle of arc m∠FEH = 272°, the measured angle of ∠EFG = 116°
Given that m∠FEH = 272°, therefore, arc ∠HGF = 360 - 272 = 88°
Therefore, angle subtended by arc ∠HGF at the center = 88°
The angle subtended by arc ∠HGF at the circumference = m∠FEH
∴ m∠FEH = 88°/2 = 44° (Angle subtended at the center = 2×angle subtended at the circumference)
m∠FEH = 44°
2) Similarly, m∠HGF is subtended by arc m FEH, therefore, m∠HGF = (arc m FEH)/2 = 272°/2 = 136°
The sum of angles in a quadrilateral = 360°
Therefore;
m∠FEH + m∠HGF + m∠EFG + m∠EHG = 360° (The sum of angles in a quadrilateral EFGH)
m∠EHG = 360° - (m∠FEH + m∠HGF + m∠EFG) = 360 - (44 + 136 + 116) = 64°
m∠EHG = 64°.
