Answer:
a) x = 128 degrees
b) Angle APD is the arc angle, which is equal to the central angle x subtended by the arc. Therefore angle APD = 128 degrees (and not 116 degrees)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
attached diagram
ABC is a straight line
Solution:
a) Find x
ABC is a straight line
angle ABD = supplement of CBD = 180-CBD = 180-116 = 64 degrees.
x is the central angle of the arc APD
so angle ABD is the inscribed angle which equals half of the arc angle =>
angle ABD = x/2 = 64 degrees
Solve for x
x/2 = 64
x = 2*64
x = 128 degrees
b.
Angle APD is the arc angle, which is equal to the central angle x subtended by the arc. Therefore angle APD = 128 degrees (and not 116 degrees)
