Answer:
146°
Step-by-step explanation:
Points A and B are the endpoints of an arc of a circle. Chords are drawn from the two endpoints to a third point, C, on the circle. Given m arch AB=64° and ⦣ABC=73°, m ⦣ABC=__ ° and m arch AC=__ °.
Solution:
Given that:
arc AB = 64° and ⦣ABC=73°
The Central Angle Theorem states that the central angle from two chosen points A and B on the circle is always twice the inscribed angle from those two points. The inscribed angle is any point along the outer arc AB and the two points A and B.
Therefore arc AC is the central angle of ⦣ABC. Using the central angle theorem gives:
arc AC = 2 * ⦣ABC
substituting:
arc AC = 2 * 73
arc AC = 146°
Are 6 and 15 the legs of the triangle?
