The value of x is 84°.
Solution:
Measure of intercepted arc = 168°
Measure of angle x = ?
<u>Tangent-chord relationship:</u>
<em>If a tangent and a chord intersect at a point, then the measure of each angle formed is half of the measure of its intercepted arc.</em>
The value of x is 84°.
Answer:
x² + (y-74)² = 4900
Step-by-step explanation:
Circle equation: (x-h)² + (y-k)² = r²
"h" refers to horizontal shifts while "k" refers to vertical shifts. If the center of the wheel is directly above the origin of the rectangular plane and the entire wheel is 4 ft. from the ground then:
- h = 0
- k = 74 (the radius + 4 ft.)
- r = 70
So plugging those into the equation of circles, we get the answer above.
X = height of pole (in meters)
With respect to the 50 degree angle, the side x is the opposite leg. It is the leg furthest from the reference angle. The hypotenuse is 5 meters.
The trig function sine ties together the opposite and hypotenuse
sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
sin(50) = x/5
5*sin(50) = x .... multiply both sides by 5
x = 5*sin(50)
------------------
Since x = 5*sin(50) isn't listed as an answer choice, let's try using cosine. We can't use it right away because we don't know the adjacent side. What we can do is change the reference angle. The missing angle of the triangle is 90-50 = 40 degrees. Let's make the 40 degree angle the reference angle
So x is now the adjacent side with respect to the 40 degree reference angle. The hypotenuse is always the longest side. The hypotenuse stays at 5.
cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos(40) = x/5
5*cos(40) = x
x = 5*cos(40)
This expression is listed. The answer is choice B
The slope of line q is that of line p scaled by a factor of 3 (not -3). The y-intercept of line q is 6 less than the y-intercept of line p. The appropriate choice is
D. y = 3ax +b -6
