Answer:
m∠EGC=70°
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The measure of the inner angle is the semi-sum of the arcs comprising it and its opposite
so
m∠EGC=(1/2)[arc EC+arc DF]
<u><em>Find the value of x</em></u>
we have
m∠EGC=(7x+7)°
arc EC=50°
arc DF=10x°
substitute and solve for x
(7x+7)°=(1/2)[50°+10x°]
14x+14=50+10x
14x-10x=50-14
4x=36
x=9
<u><em>Find the measure of angle EGC</em></u>
m∠EGC=(7x+7)°
substitute the value of x
m∠EGC=(7(9)+7)°=70°
Answer:
where is the figure?
Step-by-step explanation:
I can't see a figure
Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
Since they are similar, you need to find the ratio of similarity (I made up the term, there is probably a correct one that I can’t remember).
If you divide 16/40, you’ll find that that ratio is 2.5. So then you just multiply 16 x 2.5. You’ll get 18.
18 is the length of the top of the trapezoid.
You set 18=2x+4 and solve it algebraically. Subtract 4 from both sides.
14=2x
Divide by 2 and x=7
(You can also check that the ratio is right by 16/18 is the same decimal value as 40/45. You’ll get .88888...)
