The measure of an arc is equal to the measure of the central angle subtended by it
The measure of an arc is equal to double the measure of the inscribed angle subtended by it
Central angles subtended by the same arc are equal in measures
Inscribed angles subtended by the same arc are equal in measures
The measure of central angle is double the measure of the inscribed angle which subtended by its arc

∵ Angle BDC is an inscribed angle

∵ It is subtended by the arc BC

- By using the 2nd fact above

∴ The measure of arc BC = 2 × the measure of ∠BDC

∵ The measure of angle BDC is 65 degree

∴ The measure of arc BC = 2 × 65°

∴ The measure of arc BC = 130°

The measure of arc BC is 130°

<1 and <2 form a linear pair. The measure of <1 = (2x+8) and the measure of <2 = (8x + 22). What is the measure of &

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Since the given problem states that the two angles, angle 1 and angle 2 form a linear pair, this means that they form a 180° line, so that:

measure angle 1 + measure angle 2 = 180°

Since measure of angle 2 is six more than twice the measure of angle 1, therefore:

measure angle 2 = 2 (measure angle 1) + 6

hence, substituting this into the first equation:

measure angle 1 + 2 (measure angle 1) + 6 = 180

3 (measure angle 1) = 174

measure angle 1 = 58°

Therefore,

measure angle 2 = 2 (measure angle 1) + 6

measure angle 2 = 2 (58°) + 6

measure angle 2 = 122*
