Answer:

  50°

Step-by-step explanation:

As usual, the diagram is not drawn to scale.

The chord divides the circle into two arcs that have a sum of 360°. If we let "a" represent the measure of the smaller arc, then we have ...

  a + (a+160°) = 360°

  2a = 200° . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 160°

  a = 100°

The measure of the angle at A is 1/2 the measure of the subtended arc:

  acute ∠A = a/2 = (1/2)·100° = 50°

_____

<em>Comment on this geometry</em>

Consider a different inscribed angle, one with vertex V on the circle and subtending the same short arc subtended by chord AB. Then you know that the angle at V is half the measure of arc AB. This is still true as point V approaches (and becomes) point A on the circle. When V becomes A, segment VA becomes tangent line <em>l</em>, and you have the geometry shown here.

A vet weighs two puppies. The small puppy weighs 4 2/3 pounds. The large puppy weighs 4 2/3 times as much as the small puppy. Ho
Maksim231197 [3]
4 2/3 lbs = small puppy weight
4 2/3 times the small puppies weight = large puppy weight
          4 2/3 × 4 2/3  or 4 2/3^2  = 21.77777.... or in mixed number is 21 7/9 lbs

Math Help:<br><br> Which two answers are correct?
EastWind [94]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The odd degree (7) tells you the end behaviors are in opposite directions. The negative leading coefficient (-4) tells you the sign of y will be opposite the sign of x.

For x going toward negative infinity, y goes toward positive infinity.

For x going toward positive infinity, y goes toward negative infinity.

if 2/5 of a ton of concrete covers 5/6 of a wall, how many tons of concrete are required to cover the entire wall?
Valentin [98]
Your answer would be 12/25 tons. If you set up a proportion  2/5             X
                                                                                       --------   =   -------
                                                                                        5/6             1
Solve your proportion.
