Set up your equation:
$20 - $14 = $6

$6 were spent on all 3 pencils, now divide:

$6 / 3 = $2 per pencil

You paid 15 cent because 3 divided by 20 is 0.15

Given the angles inscribed in the circle, find m ∠ DBC.

Cloud [144]

Answer:

m∠DBC = 51°

Step-by-step explanation:

Circle Theorem vocabulary

Chord: A straight line joining two points on the circle.
Inscribed angle: The angle formed when two chords meet at one point on a circle.
Intercepted arc: The arc that is between the endpoints of the chords that form the inscribed angle.

Inscribed Angle Theorem

The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of the intercepted arc.

Therefore:

$\sf \implies \angle DBC=\dfrac{1}{2}\:\overset{\frown}{BC}$
