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.

PLEASE HELP! THANKS!
Alina [70]
If you add everything up then
14x-2=180
14x=182
x= 13
 
So the angles would equal
2(13)+1= 27
3(13)-3= 36
9(13)= 117
The angles are 27 36 and 117
Which makes the smallest angle 27 which is B.

If I was born in 1999 and 2019 how long has it been
stepladder [879]

Answer:

20 years

Step-by-step explanation:

2019-1999=20

Well it may not exactly be 20 years if you were born on October 7 1999 and it is January 1st 2019 then it would be 19 years. But assuming that it is the exact date then it would be 20 years. Also we are forgetting about leap days. If you were born on May 4th 1999 and it is May 3rd 2019 you are technically 20 years old. But I am not really sure if that really counts.
