Find the value of x. A. 70 B. 30 C. 65 D. 40
1 answer:
Answer:
Option (A)
Step-by-step explanation:
From the figure attached,
By applying triangle sum theorem in ΔBCP,
m∠CBP + m∠CPB + m∠BCP = 180°
15° + 20° + m∠BCP = 180°
m∠BCP = 145°
m∠ACB + m∠BCP = 180° [Linear pair of angles are supplementary]
m∠ACB + 145° = 180°
m∠ACB = 35°
Since, ∠ACB is the inscribed angle and AB is the intercepted arc.
Therefore, m(arc AB) = 2m(∠ACB)
m(arc AB) = 2 × 35°
= 70°
Therefore, Option (A) is the correct option.
