Answer:
1. The measure of ∠WOV is 60°. You would use complementary angles that are adjacent (∠WOV, and ∠XOW)
2. The measure of ∠YOZ is 60°. You would use the vertical angles that are non-adjacent (∠WOV, and ∠YOZ). These two angles are congruent so they would have the same measure. These angles combined also create supplementary angles
3. Another way to find the measure of ∠YOZ would be to make/write an equation and solve for x. For example, (3x+30)°=60°. x would equal 10 because 10x3=30+30=60°
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Since a complementary angle would equal 90°, simply subtract 30° from 90° resulting in 60°.
2. Because vertical angles are congruent and (∠WOV, and ∠YOZ) are a pair of them, they equal the same as each other so they're both 60°.
3. You can make any equation with x included as long as it equals 60° mine was just an example you can make your own like 10x+10=60 or 4x+20=60. Also to create your equation you also need to use the angle fact of the vertical angles
Answer:
C. 18 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the sides of the triangle shown is 12 : 15 = 4 : 5. We know it is a right triangle, so we know the missing side length completes the ratio
3 : 4 : 5 = 9 : 12 : 15
Half of XY is 9 cm, so the length of the entire chord is 18 cm.
_____
The chord is tangent to the inner circle, so makes a 90° angle with the radius to that tangent point. This tells you that the triangle shown is a right triangle. It also tells you that the short radius bisects the chord. The Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the length of the side not shown (half the chord length).
The unknown side (a) can be found from ...
15² = 12² +a²
225 -144 = a² . . . . . . subtract 12²
81 = a² . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
9 = a . . . . . . . . . . . . . take the square root
The chord length is 2a, so is ...
2(9 cm) = 18 cm . . . . length of chord XY
