Right triangle ABC and right triangle ACD overlap as shown below. Angle DAC measures 20 degrees and angel BCA measures 30 degree
s. What are the values of X and Y?
1 answer:
The image of the question is attached below.
Given:
m∠DAC = 20° and m∠BCA = 30°
m∠ABC = 90° and m∠CDA = 90°
To find:
The value of x and y.
Solution:
In right triangle ABC,
m∠BAC = x° + 20°
Sum of the interior angles of a triangle = 180°
m∠BAC +m∠ABC + m∠BCA = 180°
x° + 20° + 90° + 30° = 180°
x° + 140° = 180°
Subtract 140° from both sides.
x° + 140° - 140° = 180° - 140°
x° = 40°
In right triangle ADC,
m∠ACD = y° + 30°
Sum of the interior angles of a triangle = 180°
m∠ACD +m∠CDA + m∠DAC = 180°
y° + 30° + 90° + 20° = 180°
y° + 140° = 180°
Subtract 140° from both sides.
y° + 140° - 140° = 180° - 140°
y° = 40°
The value of x is 40 and y is 40.

Answer:
Circumcenter = (4,0)
Circumcircle = √5
Step-by-step explanation:
The circumcentre is the point of intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle. The vertices of the triangle are equidistant to the circumcentre.
Let us assume the coordinate of the circumcentre is at O(x, y). Therefore the distance between the cirmcumcenter and the vertices are:
AO = BO, therefore
√(x² + y²-4x-2y+5) = √(x² + y² - 10x - 4y + 29)
x² + y²-4x-2y+5 = x² + y² - 10x - 4y + 29
6x + 2y = 24 (1)
BO = CO
√(x² + y² - 10x - 4y + 29) = √(x² + y² - 9x - 8y + 25)
x² + y² - 10x - 4y + 29 = x² + y² - 9x - 8y + 25
-x + 4y = -4 (2)
Multiply equation 2 by 6 and add to equation 1:
26y = 0
y=0
Put y = 0 in -x + 4y = -4
-x + 4(0) = -4
x = 4
The cicumcenter is at (4, 0)
The radius of the circumcircle = AO = BO = CO. Therefore:
