Answer:
b = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
-7+b= -8
Add 7 to each side
-7+7+b= -8+7
b = -1
Answer:
C) The midpoint of the segment
Step-by-step explanation:
The point of tangency is the intersection of the original circle and the semicircle whose diameter is the segment from the original circle center to the external point. The step being described is the step where the semicircle is being drawn, so the point of the compass will be at the midpoint of the segment.
Copy the construction shown in the figure.
Answer:
The value of x is 50
Step-by-step explanation:
- <em>A </em><em>secant</em><em> is a line that </em><em>intersects a circle</em><em> in exactly </em><em>two points</em><em>. </em>
- <em>When </em><em>two secants</em><em> intersect </em><em>outside a circle</em><em> then the </em><em>measure</em><em> of the </em><em>angle</em><em> </em><em>formed</em><em> between them is </em><em>one-half the positive difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs</em>
In the given figure
∵ Two secants intersected outside the circle
∵ The measures of the intercepted arcs are 30° and 130°
∵ x is the measure of the angle formed between them
→ By using the fact above
∴ x =
(130 - 30)
∴ x =
(100)
∴ x = 50
∴ The value of x is 50
