Line up the decimal points and multiply the rest like you would normally do it but drop down the decimal at the end
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, we have to find m∠J.
Since all the angles of a Δ equal 180°, angles J, L, and K should have a sum of 180°.
So,
m∠J + m∠L + m∠K = 180°
The diagram shows us that ∠L = 49° and ∠K = 90°, so we plug in those numbers in the equation.
m∠J + 49° + 90° = 180°
Then we simplify
m∠J + 139° = 180°
Subtract 139° to both sides
∠J = 41
Now the other angles.
Since ΔJKL ~ ΔRST, then ∠J ≅ ∠R, ∠K ≅ ∠S, and ∠L ≅ ∠T
Meaning, m∠J = m∠R, m∠K = m∠S, and m∠L = m∠T
Since we know m∠J = 41°, m∠K = 90°, and m∠L = 49° we could plug those in so...
41° = m∠R , 90° = m∠S , and 49° = m∠T
The angle formed by two tangles results in half of the difference of the two arcs.
That is to say
70 = .5(Major arc - minor arc)
Think of the major arc as the larger and the minor the smaller.
So therefore the difference in the two arcs = 140 (multiplying both sides of the above equation by 2.
140 = major arc - minor arc.
Another necessary idea is that the arc of a whole circle = 360 degrees, that is to say the major arc + minor arc = 360, giving us a second equation to solve.
Assuming x is the minor arc.
140 = major arc - x
360 = major arc + x
Use linear combination and add these equations to get
500 = 2*major arc
major arc = 250
minor arc or x = 110.
The answer is 110 degrees.
