How do I solve inscribed angles?

The triangles are similar so the angles are equal
2x^2 - 2 = 10x - 2
2x^2 - 2 - 10x + 2 = 0
2x^2 - 10x = 0
2x(x - 5) = 0
2x = 0 OR x - 5 = 0
x = 0 OR x = 5
0 doesn't make sense, because IF I plug 0 into 2x^2 - 2 I get a negative number. We need to use 5 to find the angle measure

2(5^2) - 2 = 2(25) - 2 = 50 - 2 = 48 degrees or the measure of CED

brilliants [131]

Answer:
y = 140, x = 159
Step-by-step explanation:
Angle y:
we can find this angle by subtracting 40 from 180, 180-40 = 140 = y
Angle x:
Some measure of an angle plus angle b is equal to 180 degrees: 180-61 = 119
We can now find the measure of the third angle of the triangle: 180-(119+40) = 21
The third angle plus angle x is equal to 180: 180-21 = 159 = x

Find the value of x and y

Natalija [7]

Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon:

Let's take this problem step-by-step:

What does the information want:

value of x
value of y

Let's gather some information:

ΔA'BC' and ΔABC are similar triangles

⇒ Angle B is shared by both triangles

⇒ Angle A' and A are the same, as they are both on parallel

lines, A'C' and AC, and both angles are formed with the

same line AB

⇒ by the Angle-Angle Theorem*, they are similar triangles

If they are similar triangles:

⇒ their side lengths are proportional to each other

let's find x's value

⇒ let's set up a proportion

$\frac{A'B}{AB} =\frac{A'C'}{AC} \\\frac{30}{x+30} =\frac{14}{22} \\14(x+30) = 30*22\\14x + 420 = 660\\14x = 240\\x = 17.143$

let's find y's value

⇒ let's set up a proportion

$\frac{BC'}{BC} =\frac{A'C'}{AC} \\\frac{y}{y+15} =\frac{14}{22} \\22y=14(y+15)\\22y=14y+210\\8y=210\\y=26.25$

Answer:

x= 17.143
y = 26.25

Hope that helps!

HELP ASAP!!! Characterize the slope of the line in the graph. A. Zero B. Undefined C. Positive D. Negative

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Undefined

Explanation:

When a line is vertical like that, the slope is undefined. If it was horizontal, then it would be zero. Positive slopes go in an upward right direction. Negative slopes go in a downward left direction.
