Answer:

  • (a) minor arc: XY; major arc: XVY
  • (b) XVY = 248°
  • (c) tangent: UV; secant: UX
  • (d) UV = 6√5

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Any pair of points on the circle that are separated by less than the diameter will define a minor arc. (The minor arc is the shortest arc of the circle between the points.) Possible minor arcs in this diagram are ...

  VX, VY, XY

The corresponding major arc is usually named by adding the name of a point between the two endpoints that is not on the minor arc. For the minor arcs above, the corresponding major arcs are ...

  VYX, VXY, XVY

Given that part (b) tells us the minor arc of interest is 112°, we assume that arc is the one subtended by the chord: XY.

Then, per the discussion above, the corresponding major arc is XVY.

___

(b) The sum of major and minor arcs is the whole circle, 360°. So, the measure of the major arc is ...

  360° -112° = 248°

___

(c) A tangent line intersects a circle at exactly one point. It is perpendicular to a radius to that point of intersection. The tangent line in this diagram is UV.

A secant intersects a circle in two places. The portion of the secant between the points of intersection is called a <em>chord</em>. The secant line UX contains the chord XY.

___

(d) A rule of secants (and chords) is that the product of distances from where the secants (or chords) meet to the two intersection points with the circle is the same. For a tangent line, effectively, the two points of intersection are at the same distance. This means ...

  UV·UV = UX·UY

  UV² = 9·(9+11) = 180

  UV = √180 = √(6²·5)

  UV = 6√5 ≈ 13.42

_____

The attached figure is drawn to scale with arc XY being 112°.

Answer:

(a) minor arc: arc VX

    major arc: arc VYX

(b) 248 degrees

(c) Tangent: UV

    Secant: UY

Step-by-step explanation:

(b) 360 - 112 = 248

(c) UV crosses on the circumference of the circle at exactly one point

    UY crosses through the circle at exactly two points

R is the interior of angle TUV. The measure of RUV=30degrees, the measure of TUV=3x+16, and the measure of TUR=x+10. Find x and
choli [55]

Given

R is the interior of ∠ TUV.

m∠ RUV=30degrees, m∠ TUV=3x+16, and m∠ TUR=x+10.

Find the value of x and the m ∠TUV.

To proof

As given in the question

m ∠TUV=3x+16, and m ∠TUR=x+10

thus

m∠ RUV =  m∠ TUV - m∠ TUR

            = 3x + 16 - x -10

            = 2x + 6

As given

m ∠RUV=30°

compare both the values

we get

30 = 2x + 6

24 = 2x

12 = x

put this value in the m ∠TUV= 3x+16

m ∠TUV= 12× 3 +16

            = 52°

Hence proved

The measure of an angle is 140°. What is the measure of its supplementary angle
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

40 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles are angles in which their measures combined add up to 180 degrees. So we can set up an equation:

140+x=180

x=40

So the other supplementary angle is 40 degrees

find a set of parametric equations of the line the line pases through the point (2,3,4) and is parallel to the xz-plane and the
joja [24]

Answer:

x=2, y=3, z=4+t

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we need a line parallel to the plane x z and yz. And by definition of parallel we see that the intersection between the xz and yz plane is the z axis. And we can take the following unitary vector to construct the parametric equations:

u= (u_x, u_y, u_z)= (0,0,1)

Or any factor of u but for simplicity let's take the unitary vector.

Then the parametric equations are given by:

x= P_x + u_x t

y= P_y + u_y t

z= P_z + u_z t

Where the point given P=(2,3,4)= (P_x , P_y, P_z)

And then since we have everything we can replace like this:

x= P_x + u_x t 2+ 0*t = 2

y= P_y + u_y t= 3+ 0*t = 3

z= P_z + u_z t = 4+ 1t = 4+t

x=2, y=3, z=4+t

1. What are transition metals?
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Any of the set of metallic elements occupying a central block (Groups IVB–VIII, IB, and IIB, or 4–12) in the periodic table, e.g., iron, manganese, chromium, and copper. Chemically they show variable valence and a strong tendency to form coordination compounds, and many of their compounds are colored.
