Answer:
Arc EC = 58°
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the value of x.
m<D = ½(arc EC) => Inscribed Angles Theorem
Substitute
2x - 5 = ½(5x - 27)
Multiply both sides by 2
2(2x - 5) = 5x - 27
4x - 10 = 5x - 27
Collect like terms
4x - 5x = 10 - 27
-x = -17
Divide both sides by -1
x = 17
Find arc EC:
Arc EC = 5x - 27
Plug in the value of x
Arc EC = 5(17) - 27 = 85 - 27
Arc EC = 58°
Answer:
x = 10 , 45 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
This seems a tricky one .
I guess we can use sin A + sin B = 2 sin (A+B)/2 cos (A - B) / 2
so sin 5x + sin x = 2 sin 3x cos 2x so our equation becomes
2 sin 3x cos 2x - cos 2x = 0
cos 2x ( 2 sin 3x - 1) = 0
so 2 sin 3x = 1
sin 3x = 1/2
giving 3x = 30 degrees and x = 10 degrees
or cos 2x = 0
so 2x = 90
giving x = 45 degrees.
