Answer:

The measure of the third arc is 150\°

Step-by-step  explanation:

step 1

we know that

The measurement of the external angle is the semi-difference of the arcs which comprises

in this problem

Let

x----> the greater arc of the circle intercepted by the secant and the tangent

y----> the smaller arc of the circle intercepted by the secant and the tangent

42\°=\frac{1}{2}(x-y)

84\°=(x-y) ----> equation A

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{7}{3}

x=\frac{7}{3}y -----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

84\°=(\frac{7}{3}y-y)

84\°=(\frac{4}{3}y)

y=3*84\°/4=63\°

Find the value of x

x=\frac{7}{3}(63\°)=147\°

step 2

Find the measure of the third arc

Let

z------> the measure of the third arc

we know that

x+y+z=360\° -----> complete circle

substitute the values and solve for z

147\°+63\°+z=360\°

z=360\°-(147\°+63\°)=150\°

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If A, B, and C are in the ratio of 2:3:5 and they are each getting some amount of money in that ratio, then to find the total amount of money they split is found in Ax + Bx + Cx and we need to solve for x. What we are told is that the smallest share = 210 and obviously A is the smallest share. Therefore,

2x = 210 and x = 105.

The total sum = 210 + 3(105) + 5(105) so

Total sum = 210 + 315 + 525

Total sum = 1050 and

C's share is 525 and

B's share is 315

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. h

2. g

3. a

4. f

5. c

6. b

7. e

8. (17 * 5) * 2 = 17 * (5 * 2) = 17 * 10 = 170

9. 700 + 137 + 300 = 700 + 300 + 137 = 1137

10. $0.25 + $2.69 + $4.75 = $0.25 + $4.75 + $2.69 = $7.69

11. -8 + 57 + 18 = 18 - 8 + 57 = 10 + 57 = 67

12. 26 + 19 + 14 = 20 + 6 + 19 + 10 + 4 =

= 20 + 10 + 6 + 4 + 19

= 30 + 10 + 10

= 40 + 19

= 59
