Answer:

Side c = 10.35

Angle A = 50.87°

Angle B = 94.13°

Step-by-step explanation:

The Law of Cosines states that:

a² = b² + c² - 2bcCos A

We are to to find side c, Angle A and B

side a = 14

sides b = 18

Angle C = 35°

1) Side c

= c² = a² + b² - 2abCos C

c² = 14² + 18² - 2 × 14 × 18 Cos 35

c = √(14² + 18² - 2 × 14 × 18 Cos 35)

c = 10.3512

Approximately = 10.35

2) Angle A

Cos A = b² + c² - a²/2bc

A = arc cos (b² + c² - a²/2bc)

A = arc cos (18² + 10.35² - 14²/2 × 18 × 10.35)

A = 50.8737°

A = Approximately = 50.87°

3) Angle B

Cos B = a² + c² - b²/2ac

B = arc cos (a² + c² - b²/2ac)

B = arc cos (14² + 10.35² - 18²/2 × 14× 10.35)

A = 94.13123°

A = Approximately = 94.13°

Based on the diagram below, what is the measure of arc DC ?

emmainna [20.7K]

Given:

A diagram of a circle O, $arc(AB)=y^\circ, arc(CD)=(80+y)^\circ$ .

To find:

The measure of arc DC.

Solution:

According to the angle of intersecting chords theorem:

Angle at intersection of chords = Half of the sum of intercepted arcs.

Let $\theta$ be the angle between the intersection of chords AC and BD.

$\theta +112^\circ=180^\circ$ (Linear pair)

$\theta =180^\circ-112^\circ$

$\theta =68^\circ$

Using the angle of intersecting chords theorem, we get

$\theta=\dfrac{arc(AB)+arc(CD)}{2}$

$68^\circ =\dfrac{y^\circ+(80+y)^\circ}{2}$

$136^\circ =(80+2y)^\circ$

On simplification, we get

$136=80+2y$

$136-80=2y$

$56=2y$

Divide both sides by 2.

$28=y$

Now,

$arc(DC)=(80+y)^\circ$

$arc(DC)=(80+28)^\circ$

$arc(DC)=108^\circ$

Therefore, the correct option is C.
