Answer: 36
Step-by-step explanation:
(Triangle ABC is isosceles)
(base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent)
(In triangle CMB, angles in a triangle add to 180 degrees)
(triangle sum theorem)
(30-60-90 triangle CMB)
(sides opposite congruent angles in a triangle are congruent)
(segment addition postulate)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We know angle P is 90 degrees because of Thales Theorem, and angle N is 60 degrees. Because the angles in a triangle have to add up to 180 degrees, angle PMN has to be 30 degrees.
Angle QMO is half of angle PMN, so it's 15 degrees. Angle MQO is equal to angle QMO because the radii make Triangle OQM isosceles, so angle MQO is 15 degrees.
Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable
x is equal to y/12
