Answer:
x = 26°
Step-by-step explanation:
The measure of the secant- secant angle x is one- half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs , larger subtract smaller
x =
(66° - 14°) = 0.5 × 52° = 26°
The saying "A picture is worth a thousand words" comes to mind here. You can list all of the possible points in a solution region, or you can list a few points to give the general pattern. Though this method requires a bit more work than simply graphing and showing the solution shaded region. A visual is often more efficient at conveying a message especially to those who aren't proficient with algebra. I'm sure there are other reasons why graphs are the better choice, but that's all I could think of really.
If you just want to solve for h, as it appears, isolate h by dividing both sides of the equation by 6.25.
That leaves h = 16. (16 hours, presumptively).
