Answer:

Measure of angle 4 is 115°

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we want to find the measure of angle 2, because the measure of angle 2 is equal to angle 4. When 2 straight lines cross each other, the angles formed are always equal to the angle right across from it.

Find angle 2 by setting up an equation:

$x+x+50=180$

This is basically saying that angle 1 plus angle 2 equals 180°. In a half turnaround, the angle is 180°. Angle 1 and 2 make up a half turnaround.

Solve the equation:

$x+x+50=180$

Combine the 2 x's to get 2x.

$2x+50=180$

Subtract 50 from both sides.

$2x=130$

Divide both sides by 2.

$x=65$

Since x=65, plug 65 into x in the measure of angle 2 (x+50).

65+50=115.

Since Angle 2 is equal to angle 4, angle 4 is also 115.

A circle is defined by the equation x2 + y2 – x – 2y – = 0. What are the coordinates for the center of the circle and the length

madreJ [45]

X^2 + y^2 - x - 2*y = 0
To find both coordinates and radius we need to make this equation in circle form:
(x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2

x^2 - 2*1/2*x + 1/4 - 1/4 + y^2 - 2*1*y + 1 - 1 = 0
Here we are adding and subtracting numbers in order to get square binomial.
(x - 1/2)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 5/4

coordinates of center are (1/2,1) and the radius is √ $\frac{5}{4}$
