Answer:

The measure of angle HJK is 36°

Step-by-step explanation:

In a circle, the measure of the inscribed angle equal half the measure of the central angle subtended by the same arc

In circle J

∵ J is the center of the circle

∵ H and K lie on the circle

∴ ∠HJK is a central angle subtended by arc HK

∵ L lies on the circle

∴ ∠HLK is an inscribed angle subtended by arc HK

→ By using the rule above

∵ ∠HJK and ∠HLK are the central angle and inscribed angle

subtended by the same arc HK

∴ m∠HLK = $\frac{1}{2}$ m∠HJK

∵ m∠HLK = 18°

∴ 18 = $\frac{1}{2}$ m∠HJK

→ Multiply both sides by 2

∴ 36 = m∠HJK

∴ The measure of angle HJK is 36°

Answer:

Question 9: Variables: (smallest) s, q, r (largest)

Question 10: 5 whole numbers (7, 8, 9, 10, and 11)

Step-by-step explanation:

For question nine, there are two given statements... s=q-2 and q<r. Say we plug in 10000 (a really big #) in for q, then we would get s=9998 and r>10000. This way, we can see that s would be the smallest, then q, and r is the largest. (q<r can be written as r>q)

For question 10, it states $\frac{1}{4}$ . This can be split into $\frac{3}{x}$ and $\frac{3}{x}$ . When x is 12 in the first equation then $\frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4}$ and when x is 6 in the second equation $\frac{3}{6} =0.5$ (0.5 is also $\frac{1}{2}$ ). Therefore, x must be a whole number less than 12 and greater than 6, and it cannot be either 12 or 6. Whole numbers between 6 and 12 are 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 or 5 whole numbers.
