Find angle D if angle B = 50

<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.

Please help i will give 30 points
grigory [225]

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

The area would have been 80*x=1600.

that means x=60. So, two pennant bases are 60.

That means one pennant base is 30.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

y= 2x - 19/3

Step-by-step explanation:

6x-3y=19

3y=6x-19

y=2x- 19/3

slope: 2

y-intercept: -19/3
