What is the value of x? assume that the line is tangent to the circle

Mathematics

Answer:

70°

Step-by-step explanation:

Connect the center of the circle with endpoints of the chord. Let the center of the circle be point O and endpoints of the chord be points A (let point A lie on the tangent line too)and B.

From the figure, central angle AOB has the measure of 220°.

Consider triangle AOB. This triangle is isosceles triangle because OA and OB are both radii. In this triangle the measure of angle AOB is 360° - 220° = 140°.

Angles OAB and OBA are angles adjacent to the base AB, so they are congruent. The sum of the measures of all interior angles in triangle is always 180°, so

m∠OAB + m∠OBA + m∠AOB = 180°

m∠OAB = m∠OBA = 1/2 (180° - 140°)

m∠OAB = 20°

Since drawn line is tangent line, then OA is perpendicular to this tangent line and

x° = 90° - 20°

x° = 70°

Step-by-step explanation:

here is fig 15

x=36 (v.o.a are equal)

36+y=180

y=180-36=144

y=z=144 vertically

8x + 4 = 5x - 11

Subtract 5x from both sides:
3x + 4 = -11

Subtract 4 from both sides:
3x = -15

Divide both sides by 3:
x = -5

Answer : x = -5

I do not need an explanation, just a simple angle number!
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a + 143 = 180    {Linear pair}

a = 180 - 143

a = 37

37 + 93 + b = 180 {Angle sum property of triangle}

130 + b = 180

         b = 180 - 130

         b = 40

c + b = 90

c  + 40 = 90

c = 90 - 40

c = 50

d + 120 = 180   {Linear pair}

d = 180 - 120

d = 60

? = 60 + 40         {Exterior angle property of triangle}

? = 100
