*see attachment for the diagram

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

1. Antonio's statement is correct because the sum of measure of the minor intercepted arc DE and the angle formed by tangents CE and CD outside the circle equal 180°.

According to the theorem. Therefore, the statement 2x + 7 + 5x - 2 = 180 is correct.

2. To find the measure of <A, which is a central angle of the circle, find the value of x. Then find the measure of the intercepted arc.

According to the central angle theorem, the measure of a central angle equal the intercepted minor arc.

Therefore, the measure of the intercepted minor arc DE = m<A.

Step 1: find the value of x using the equation gotten in question 1.

2x + 7 + 5x - 2 = 180

Combine like terms

7x + 5 = 180

7x + 5 - 5 = 180 - 5

7x = 175

\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{175}{7}

x = 25

Step 2: find the measure of the minor intercepted arc DE, by substituting x = 25 into 5x - 2.

measure of arc DE = 5x - 2

= 5(25) - 2 = 125 - 2

measure of arc DE = 123°

Step 3: find the measure of centra angle A.

m<A = intercepted arc DE (central angle theorem)

m<A = 123°

What percent is $10,000 out of a 120.000
Svetlanka [38]
10,000 is 8.33% of 120,000.

10,000 / 120,000 = 0.0833 * 100% = 8.33%

Assuming that the whole and percentage is given. find the value of the percentage.

120000 * 8.33% = 9996 ⇒ 10,000

If the percentage is given and its corresponding value. find the whole

10,000 / 8.33% = 120,048 ⇒ 120,000
