X + 6 + x + 8 + x = 53
3x + 14 = 53
3x = 39
x = 13 and the other 2 pieces are
19 and
21

In ⊙O, ST and VT are tangents. m∠STV = 22°. Find the value of a, b, and m∠SOV.

Rasek [7]

Answer:

$\huge \orange {\boxed {a =202\degree}}$

$\huge \purple {\boxed { b = 158\degree}}$

$\huge \red {\boxed {m\angle SOV = 158\degree}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In $\odot$ O, ST and VT are tangents at points S and V respectively.

$\therefore OS\perp ST, \:and\: OV\perp VT$

$\therefore m\angle OST=m\angle OVT = 90\degree$

In quadrilateral OSTV,

$m\angle SOV +m\angle OST+m\angle OVT+m\angle STV = 360\degree$

(By interior angle sum postulate of a quadrilateral)

$m\angle SOV +90\degree +90\degree +22\degree = 360\degree$

$m\angle SOV +202\degree = 360\degree$

$m\angle SOV = 360\degree-202\degree$

$\huge \red {\boxed {m\angle SOV = 158\degree}}$

$\because b = m\angle SOV$

(Measure of minor arc is equal to measure of its corresponding central angle)

$\huge \purple {\boxed {\therefore b = 158\degree}}$

$\because a + b= 360\degree$

(By arc sum property of a circle)

$\therefore a = 360\degree - b$

$\therefore a = 360\degree -158\degree$

$\huge \orange {\boxed {\therefore a =202\degree}}$

arsen [322]

Answer:

X=2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

4+6+4+7+X+(X+1)+8+2/8=5

31+X+(X+1)/8=5

40=31+X+(X+1)

9=X^2+X

X=2.5
