If A is the center of the circle, then which statement explains how segment EF is related to segment GF? Circle A with inscribed

triangle EFG; point D is on segment EF, point H is on segment GF, segments DA and HA are congruent, and angles EDA and GHA are right angles.
A. segment EF ≅ segment GF because both segments are perpendicular to radii of circle A.

B. segment EF ≅ segment GF because both segments are the same distance from the center of circle A.

C. segment EF ≅ segment GF because the inscribed angles that create the segments are congruent.

D. segment EF ≅ segment GF because the tangents that create the segments share a common endpoint.

Answer:

segment EF ≅ segment GF because both segments are the same distance from the center of circle A ⇒ answer B

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise some facts in the circle

- The perpendicular segment from the center of the circle to a chord

 bisects it

- A segment from the center of a circle to the midpoint of a cord is

 perpendicular to it

- Congruent chords in a circle are equidistant from the center of the circle,

 that means the perpendicular distances from the center of the circle

 to the chords are equal

- If two chords in a circle are equidistant from the center of the circle

 <em>( the perpendicular distances from the center of the circle to the </em>

<em>   chords are equal) </em>, then they are congruent

* Lets solve the problem

∵ ∠EDA is right angle

∵ AD ⊥ FE

∵ ∠GHA is right angle

∵ AH ⊥ FG

∵ AD = AH

∵ EF and GF are chords in the circle A

∴ The chords EF and GF are equidistant from the center of the circle A

- By using the bold fact above

∴ EF ≅ GF

* segment EF ≅ segment GF because both segments are the same

 distance from the center of circle A

Answer:

64

Step-by-step explanation:

total of a triangle adds up to 180 degrees

so:

76+37=116

180-116=64
