Answer:

21°

Step-by-step explanation:

the angles of triangle abc has to = 180 so subtract the known angles to get 21

angles bca and daf have to be the same so its 21

Answer:

$x=21$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an image of two parallel lines cut by a transversal. We are asked to find the measure of x.

We know that corresponding angles of two parallel lines are equal. We can see that angle BCA and angle DAF are corresponding angles.

Let us find measure of angle BCA using angle sum property.

$54^{\circ}+105^{\circ}+m\angle BCA=180^{\circ}$

$159^{\circ}+m\angle BCA=180^{\circ}$

$159^{\circ}-159^{\circ}+m\angle BCA=180^{\circ}-159^{\circ}$

$m\angle BCA=21^{\circ}$

Therefore, the value of x is 21 degrees.

A triangle has one angle that measures 40 and another that measures 38. What is the measure of the triangles third angle

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

102°

Step-by-step explanation:

that's the answer because 40+ 38 = 78. then 180- 78 = 102. Remember that in tringles, all three angles should add up to 180°

A circle has a diameter of 25cm. How far from the centre of this circle is a chord 16cm long? Draw a picture before you start.

yan [13]

Answer:

The cord is 9.6 cm away from the centre of the circle.

Step-by-step explanation:

See The Image First

The image below shows a picture of everything that’s given, labeled, and drawn in the circle.

Description of the Picture:

You can use the Pythagorean to find the what the distance (the length b) the cord is from the center. You can use the radius as the hypotenuse. The radius is half of the diameter, and the diameter is 25. So the radius is 12.5, which means that 12.5 is the hypotenuse of the triangle (also known as side c). The whole length of the cord is 16cm long, and we can use half of the cord, which is 8cm, for the triangle. So we know two sides already: the hypotenuse (the radius) and the length a of the triangle (half of the length of the cord).

To Solve (variables a, b, and c, are in italics so you don’t get confused):

⇒ Use the formula of the Pythagorean Theorem ( $a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$ ), where b is the length of the distance from the cord to the centre of the circle (what we need to find out), a is the length of the side of the triangle (half of the cord size – 8cm), and c is the hypotenuse (the radius – 12.5cm). So plug the given values of b and c into the formula:
