we know that

The <u>inscribed angle</u> measures half that of the arc that comprises

In this problem

∠XYZ------> is the inscribed angle

∠XYZ=\frac{1}{2}[arc\ XZ]

arc\ XZ=180\° ------> because is a diameter of the circle

substitute

∠XYZ=\frac{1}{2}[180\°]=90\°

therefore

<u>the answer is the option A</u>

90\°

Answer: a. 90°


Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the in a circle, the measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of the central angle with the same intercepted arc.

In the problem∠XYZ is the inscribed angle

∠XYZ=\frac{1}{2}\ arc(XZ)

⇒ ∠XYZ=\frac{1}{2}\angle{XZ}

Since XZ is a diameter of the circle which is a line segment, thus ∠XZ=180°

∴ ∠XYZ=\frac{1}{2}180^{\circ}=90^{\circ}

∴ ∠XYZ=90^{\circ}

Therefore, a. 90° is the measure of ∠XYZ.

Solve the equation for y.
gayaneshka [121]

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+5y=5

\mathrm{Subtract\:}2x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}

2x+5y-2x=5-2x

\mathrm{Simplify}

5y=5-2x

\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}5

\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{5}{5}-\frac{2x}{5}

\mathrm{Simplify}

\bf{y=-\frac{2}{5}x  + 1}
