12. If DH = HE, MBG = (9x – 20) and MGC = (5x + 28), find mAB.
1 answer:
Answer:
176degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the diagram attached. From the diagram;
arcGC = = arc BG
5x + 28 = 9x - 20
5x - 9x = -20 28
-4x = -48
x = -48/-4
x = 12
Get <AB
Since <AB = <BC
<BC = arcGC +arc BG
<AB = arcGC+ arc BG
<AB = 5x + 28 + 9x - 20
<AB = 14x + 8
<AB = 14(12) + 8
<AB = 168 + 8
<AB = 176degrees
Hence the arc AB is 176degrees

We have to evaluate cos(2θ), knowing that θ is in the first quadrant and in standard position P(u,v) = (3,4).
We can picture this as:
We can write the relation:
We now look at the identities to find cos(2θ):
There are many identities for cos(2θ), but this is expressed in the information we already know, so we can solve as:
Answer: cos(2θ) = -7/25
