Answer: $AC=41\°$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The complete exercise is attached.</h3>

For this exercise it is important to remember that, by definition, if an angle formed by two intersecting chords has its vertex on a circle, this is called an "Inscribed angle".

The following formula is used to calculate the measure of an Inscribed angle:

$Inscribed\ angle = \frac{1}{2}\ Intercepted\ Arc$

You can identify in the figure that:

$Inscribed\ angle=ABC=(4x -3.5)\\\\Intercepted\ Arc=AC=(4x + 17)$

Then you can substitute values into the formula and solve for "x":

$(4x -3.5)= \frac{1}{2}(4x + 17)\\\\8x-7=4x+17\\\\4x=24\\\\x=6$

Then, AC is:

$AC=(4(6)+ 17)\\\\AC=24+17\\\\AC=41\°$

How do you graph a line written in standard form

Sonbull [250]

Ok so standard form is a bit tricky, but I’ll help explain

Here’s and example:

If you have 2x+5y=10 here is how you would solve it

First you divide the x value by what the number is equal to (in our example, 10), and then we get 10/2 is 5. So now we know that

x is equal to five

Keep that in mind. Now we just have to do the same thing for the y value. 5/10 is 2, so you know that

y is equal to two

NOW you put those two together, and graph on the intercepts (the positions on the y and x axis where the lines intercept)

You would put a line on the x axis at 5, and on the y axis at 2
