Answer:

30°

Step-by-step explanation:

If chord AB subtends two arcs with measures in the ratio of 1:5, then the measure of minor arc is x and the measure of major arc is 5x. Thus,

x+5x=360^{\circ}\\ \\6x=360^{\circ}\\ \\x=60^{\circ}.

Thus, the measure of the angle AOB  is 60°. Consider isosceles triangle AOB (because AO=BO=radius of the circle). The angles adjacent to the base AB are congruent, thus

\angle BAO=\dfrac{1}{2}(180^{\circ}-60^{\circ})=60^{\circ}.

Since line CD is tangent to the circle,

\angle CAO=90^{\circ}.

Hence,

\angle CAB=\angle CAO-\angle BAO=90^{\circ}-60^{\circ}=30^{\circ}.

3(v + 2) + 4 = 13<br> HELP ME!!
Zolol [24]

3(v + 2) + 4 = 13

Mutiply the bracket by 3

(3)(v)= 3v

(3)(2)= 6

3v+6+4= 13

3v+10=13

Move +10 to the other side

Sign changes from +10 to -10

3v+10-10= 13-10

3v= 13-10

3v= 3

divide both sides by 3

3v/3= 3/3

v= 1

Answer : v= 1

The price of a gallon of unleaded gas has dropped to 2.84 today. Yesterday's price was 2.89. Find the percentage decrease. Round
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer: Answer: 2.1 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Decrease = initial price - final price

% decrease = [ (initial price - final price)  / initial price ] *100

% decrease =[ (2.89 - 2.83) / 2.89] * 100 =  2.08, which can be rounded to 2.1
