Find angle D if angle B = 50

Mathematics

<h3>Answer:  80 degrees</h3>

============================================================

Explanation:

I'm assuming that segments AD and CD are tangents to the circle.

We'll need to add a point E at the center of the circle. Inscribed angle ABC subtends the minor arc AC, and this minor arc has the central angle AEC.

By the inscribed angle theorem, inscribed angle ABC = 50 doubles to 2*50 = 100 which is the measure of arc AC and also central angle AEC.

----------------------------

Focus on quadrilateral DAEC. In other words, ignore point B and any segments connected to this point.

Since AD and CD are tangents, this makes the radii EA and EC to be perpendicular to the tangent segments. So angles A and C are 90 degrees each for quadrilateral DAEC.

We just found angle AEC = 100 at the conclusion of the last section. So this is angle E of quadrilateral DAEC.

---------------------------

Here's what we have so far for quadrilateral DAEC

  • angle A = 90
  • angle E = 100
  • angle C = 90
  • angle D = unknown

Now we'll use the idea that all four angles of any quadrilateral always add to 360 degrees

A+E+C+D = 360

90+100+90+D = 360

D+280 = 360

D = 360-280

D = 80

Or a shortcut you can take is to realize that angles E and D are supplementary

E+D = 180

100+D = 180

D = 180-100

D = 80

This only works if AD and CD are tangents.

Side note: you can use the hypotenuse leg (HL) theorem to prove that triangle EAD is congruent to triangle ECD; consequently it means that AD = CD.

The equation is ax+r=7 <br><br>how do I solve for r??
Strike441 [17]
The solution is r= 7/a-x How did i do this?
Your equation is ax+ r=7, so the goal is to isolate the r. You begin by dividing the a from the ax. Remember, what you do to one side, you must do to the other. So you do 7/a, since you can't simplify 7/a, leave it as it is. Next, your equation should look like this x+r=7/a. In order to isolate the r, you move the x to the other side by subtracting, which leaves you with the answer of r= 7/a-x.

What is the total amount that Matthew's bank will receive after lending him $8,000 for four years at an interest rate of 6 perce
bija089 [108]

Answer:

Total amount that Matthew's bank will receive is $10099.81.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the amount Matthew's bank will receive after lending him $8,000 for four years at an interest rate of 6 percent, compounded annually.

The formula for compound interest is:

A=P(1+r)^n

Where A = future value

P= Principal Amount

r = interest rate

and n= time

So in the question we are given:

P= $8000

r = 6% or 0.06

t = 4 (since 4 yeras compounded annually)

A= 8000*(1+0.06)^4

A= 8000*(1.06)^4

A= 10099.81

So, total amount that Matthew's bank will receive is $10099.81.
