Mathematics

Dennis_Churaev [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A secant is a straight line from a point outside a given circle that passes through two points on its circumference.

From the given diagram, EM and EQ are secants.

Thus,

<PEW ≅ <WEP    (common angles)

<EMP ≅ <EQW (secant-chord theorem)

<WMP ≅ <PQM (inscribed angles of arc WP)

Therefore,

\frac{EW}{WM} = \frac{EP}{PQ}   (corresponding sides of a triangle)

This implies that,

EW*PQ = EP*WM

Therefore,

MP*EW = WQ*EP  (properties of a similar triangle)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given 3 letters a,b,c.

We can choose the first letter in 1 out of 3 ways.

Once the first letter has been chosen without replacement, we have two letters remaining. Another letter can be chosen from the 2 remaining letters in  2 ways. So the total number of ways of choosing the two letters is 3*2 = 6.

Listing out the possible set of choices:

Write the name of each angle arm<br> A to O to C
tester [92]

Answer:

∠AOC

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement "A to O to C" is talking about each of the points that form an angle. Each point is given a letter as its name.

The symbol ∠ <u>means angle</u>.

You need two lines to form an angle, and you need two points to form a line. By reusing one of the points, you need three points to form an angle. The point that is being reused is always the point in the middle, in this case, that point is called 'O'.
