Question

Find the value of x. Then find the measure of the red arc.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 70 degrees, red arc= 110 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

x and 2x-30 added together is 180 degrees.

We can make an equation to find x,

x + (2x - 30) = 180

3x - 30 = 180

Add 30 to both sides to isolate x

3x = 210

By dividing both sides by 3, we get x = 70

Now we know the red arc is 2x - 30. We can plug x in because we know the value now.

2(70) - 30

140 - 30

Red Arc = 110 degrees
