Please consider the attached image for complete question.

We have been given that measure of arc WY is 76° and and measure of arc XZ is 112°. We are asked to find the difference of of the measures of angle WPY and angle XPY.

First of all we will find the measure of angle WPY using intersecting secants theorem. Intersecting secants theorem states that measure of angle formed by two intersecting secants inside a circle is half the sum of intercepting arcs.

m\angle WPY=\frac{1}{2}(\widehat{WY}+\widehat{XZ})

m\angle WPY=\frac{1}{2}(76^{\circ}+112^{\circ})

m\angle WPY=\frac{1}{2}(188^{\circ})

m\angle WPY=94^{\circ}

We can see that angle WPY and angle XPY are linear angles, so they will add up-to 180 degrees.

m\angle WPY+m\angle XPY=180^{\circ}

94^{\circ}+m\angle XPY=180^{\circ}

94^{\circ}-94^{\circ}+m\angle XPY=180^{\circ}-94^{\circ}

m\angle XPY=86^{\circ}

Now we need to find difference of both angles as:

m\angle WPY-m\angle XPY=94^{\circ}-86^{\circ}

m\angle WPY-m\angle XPY=8^{\circ}

Therefore, the difference of the measures of angle WPY and angle XPY is 8 degrees.

Ede4ka [16]

Let x represent number of wrong questions answered by Aaron.

We have been given that Aaron is taking a multiple choice test with a total of 20 points available. Each question is worth exactly 1 point. We are asked to find Aaron's score (out of 20) if he got 6 questions wrong.

To find Aaron's score, we will subtract number of wrong answers from total score.

\text{Aaron's score}=\text{Total score}-\text{Number of wrong answers}

\text{Aaron's score}=20-6

\text{Aaron's score}=14

Therefore, Aaron's test scores would be 14 out of 20.

To find Aaron's score if he got x questions wrong, we will subtract x from total scores that is 20-x.

Therefore, Aaron's score would be  20-x, if he got x questions wrong.

Suppose that you walk 10mi express the distance in yards
son4ous [18]

1 mile = 1760 yds

Therefore, if we multiply 1760 by 10 we will get 10 miles in yards

1760 * 10 = <em>17600 yards</em>

Hope it was helpful and clear.

Cheers,
