Answer:

To prove that sum of the measures of triangle XYZ is 180°

Out of the four options given

A. Construct a bisector of angle Z

B. Construct a midpoint of segment YZ

C. Construct a line parallel to segment XZ

D. Construct a perpendicular bisector of segment XY

Option C Construct a line parallel to segment XZ is correct.

Draw a line l passing through vertex Y parallel to XZ. As alternate angles becomes equal, and applying linear pair axiom on point Y and then By substitution you can prove sum of the measures of angles of triangle XYZ is 180°.

The sum of the lengths of two opposite sides of the circumscribed quadrilateral is 10 cm, and its area is 12 cm2. Find the radiu

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

1.2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of sircumscribed quadrilateral over a circle is equal to

$A=s\cdot r,$

where s is semi-perimeter of the quadrilateral and r is the radius of the circle.

Use property of circumscribed quadrilateral: The sums of the opposite sides are equal.

So, if the sum of two opposite sides of the circumscribed quadrilateral is 10 cm, then the sum of another two sides is also 10 cm and the perimeter of the quadrilateral is 20 cm. Hence,

$s=\dfrac{20}{2}=10\ cm$

Now,

$A=s\cdot r\\ \\12=10r\\ \\r=\dfrac{12}{10}=1.2\ cm$
