Equation in point slope form is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1); where m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1).

y - 0 = (6 - 0)/(2 - 4) (x - 4)
y = 6/-2 (x - 4)
y = -3(x - 4)

Cherie is jogging around a circular track. She

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Measure of minor angle JOG is $95.5^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider a circular track of radius 120 yards. Assume that Cherie starts from point J and runs 200 yards up to point G.

$\therefore m JG = 200 yards, JO=120 yards$ .

Now the measure of minor arc is same as measure of central angle. Therefore minor angle is the central angle $\angle JOG = \theta$ .

To calculate the central angle, use the arc length formula as follows.

$Arc\:Length\left(s\right) = r\:\theta$

Where $\theta$ is measured in radian.

Substituting the value,

$200=120\:\theta$

Dividing both side by 120,

$\dfrac{200}{120}=\theta$

Reducing the fraction into lowest form by dividing numerator and denominator by 40.

$\therefore \dfrac{5}{3}=\theta$

Therefore value of central angle is $\angle JOG = \theta=\left(\dfrac{5}{3}\right)^{c}$ , since angle is in radian

Now convert radian into degree by using following formula,

$1^{c}=\left(\dfrac{180}{\pi}\right)^{\circ}$

So multiplying $\theta$ with $\left(\dfrac{180}{\pi}\right)^{\circ}$ to convert it into degree.

$\left(\dfrac{5}{3}\right)^{c}=\left(\dfrac{5}{3}\right) \times \left(\dfrac{180}{\pi}\right)^{\circ}$

Simplifying,

$\therefore \theta = 95.49^{circ}$

So to nearest tenth, $\angle JOG=95.5^{circ}$
