<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.
Beforehand let me apologize for my sloppy handwriting. I'm a lefty, so please deal with me. . Anyway, the equation you listed didn't really have a x, because a linear equation is y= mx+b, and anything with x is the slope. But I did see y and a number on one side, so I'm like maybe I can get these two alone. So here's what I did:
2y + 4=0
-4 -4 I subtracted 4 on both sides. Why because you would want "y" alone.
Next,
2y= -4
Now to get "y" alone you want to divide on both sides.
2y= -4/ 2
y= -2
Now you're probably thinking "how do you graph it? There's no "x" in the equation." Well, you just graph it. Since the answer is y= -2, you go to the y axis, look for -2, and place a line to indicate that is the equation. And to make it clear, remember y is the y-intercept.
I really do hope this helps you, if not message me. I'll be happy to help, and again I'm sorry for my handwriting!
