Answer:
The m∠5 (measure of angle 5) is 135°.
Step-by-step explanation:
The m∠1 is equal to 135°. Since ∠1 and ∠5 are alternate exterior angles, they will be congruent.
Substitute 4 for y. Then -3x^2 + 16 = 52.
Solve for x. Subtract 16 from both sides, obtaining -3x^2 = 36.
Divide both sides by -3, obtaining x^2 = -12. This last result makes no sense, as no square of a real number could be negative. Probably this is where you're ":getting a negative answer."
If imaginary answers were allowed, then x = i*√12 = i*2√3 or x = -i*2√3.
x =
1. To solve this exercise, you must use the "Intersecting chords theorem".
2. You have that:
AP=3.5 in
PC=6 in
DP=4 in
3. Then, by applying the "Intersecting chord theorem", you have:
(AP)(PC)=(BP)(DP)
4. When you substitute the values into (AP)(PC)=(BP)(DP), you obtain:
(3.5 in)(6 in)/BP(4 in)
5. Now, you must clear BP. Then:
(3.5 in)(6 in)/4 in=BP
21 in^2/4 in=BP
6. Therefore, the value of BP is:
BP=5.25 in
