In the diagram below PQR are point on the circle with centre o and diameter 14cm <PRQ=35° Find the length of the minor arc PQ
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I'll draw a quick sketch. It's hard to "see" this kinda of problem w/o a drawing , so start there. just draw as much as you can from what the problem tells you.
diameter = 14 cm
radius = 7 cm
pi = 3.142
PRQ = 35 °
to find Y use law of sines
sin(70) / Y = sin(55) / 7
sin(70) / sin(55) / 7 = Y ( I'll use my calculator for all the non standard angles )
sin(70) * 7 / sin(55) = Y ( and invert and multiply the fraction in the denom )
8.03007 = Y
x = 70 °
if you have questions, and you should, just put them in the comments , I'll see them later :)
