Answer:

x = 170 deg

Step-by-step explanation:

A tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius of the circle at the point of tangency. That means that in quadrilateral AOBC, angles A and B are right angles and measure 90 deg.

The sum of the measures of the angles of an n-sided polygon is

(n - 2)180 deg

In this case, n = 4, so

(4 - 2)180 deg = 360 deg

m<A + m<O + m<B + m<C = 360

90 + x + 90 + 10 = 360

x + 190 = 360

x = 170

Answer: 170 deg

AOB ( x) + ACB = 180

AOB (x) + 10 = 180

x = 180-10

x = 170

100pts: Why was obsidian used to make scalpels?

Margaret [11]

Answer:

Research also confirms that incisions carried out with obsidian produce narrower scars and fewer inflammatory cells. This is because on cellular level, obsidian knife cuts between cells rather than tearing it in case of a steel knife, hence, a sharper cut allows the wound to heal more easily with negligible scarring.

Tina is making a frame for a picture she drew. The length of the picture is 11 1/9 inches, and the width of the picture is 7 1/4

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

3 31/36 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

11 1/9 = 100/9

7 1/4 = 29/4

100/9 = 400/36

29/4 = 261/36

400/36 - 261/36 = 139/36

139/36 = 3 31/36
