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.

Answer:

Melissa

Step-by-step explanation:

Melissa: 18/20

Tom: 85/100

Find the common denomenater so multiply 18*5 and 20*5

Melissa: 95/100

95>85

Melissa has the greater mark

Find the ratio of the area of triangle XBY to the area of triangle ABC for the given measurements, if BY = 3, YC = 2
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

The ratio of the area of triangle XBY to the area of triangle ABC is \frac{9}{25}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal to the scale factor and the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

In this problem

Triangles XBY and ABC are similar, because the corresponding internal angles are congruent

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

step 1

Find the scale factor

Let

z-------> the scale factor

z=\frac{BY}{BC}

we have

BY=3\ units

BC=2+3=5\ units

substitute

z=\frac{3}{5}

step 2

Find the ratio of the area of triangle XBY to the area of triangle ABC

Remember that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

we have

z=\frac{3}{5} -----> scale factor

so

z^{2} =(\frac{3}{5})^{2} =\frac{9}{25}
