Mathematics
1 answer:
quester [9]3 years ago

Answer: AC = 98

Step-by-step explanation:

A midpoint is a point on a line segment that divides it into <em>two equal parts</em>.

This means AB = BC

AB = 8x - 7

BC = 6x + 7

AB = BC

8x - 7 = 6x + 7

Solve this to find x

Add 7 to both sides

8x = 6x + 14

Subtract 6x from both sides

2x = 14

Divide both sides by 2

x = 7

Now AC = AB + BC

AC = AB + BC

AC = 8x - 7 + 6x + 7

AC = 14x

Substitute 7 for x

AC = 14(7)

AC = 98

Hope this helps!

Kite DCFE is inscribed in circle A shown below.
kogti [31]

Answer:

∠DEF =56°

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that arc DEF = 248°

So, arc DCF = 360°-248°

arc DCF = 112°

Now we are required to find the ∠DEF.

So, we will use Inscribed angle theorem.  

Inscribed angle theorem: The measure of an inscribed angle is equal to one-half the measure of its intercepted arc.  

Intercepted arc = arc DCF = 112°

Inscribed angle = ∠DEF

⇒∠DEF = \frac{1}{2}arcDCF

⇒∠DEF = \frac{1}{2}\times 112^{\circ}

⇒∠DEF =56°

Hence the measure of ∠DEF =56°
