The fact that the slopes of HF and GH are negative reciprocals proves that FGH is a right triangle.

The slope of HF is given by
m = (-4-4)/(-3-2) = -8/-5 = 8/5

The slope of GH is given by
m = (-4--9)/(-3-5) = (-4+9)/(-3-5) = 5/-8 = -5/8

These are reciprocals and opposite sides.  This only occurs if the lines are perpendicular; thus they make a right angle.

The slope of GH= -5/8, and the slope of FH=8/5, therefore, GH | FH

Find the measure of the are or angle indicated. Assume that lines which appear tanget are tangents. ​
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

  1. 85°
  2. 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Angle JKL is half the measure of the intercepted arc JK.

  (1/2)JK = 1/2(360° -190°) = (1/2)(170°) = 85°

  angle JKL is 85°

__

2. The angle between tangents is the supplement of the intercepted arc.

  angle JKL = 180° -(360° -240°)

  angle JKL = 60°
