EF is tangent to the circle we'll assume; otherwise there's no progress.
Call the center C. ECD is isosceles, formed from two radii and the chord.
Angle CED is complementary to DEF
CED = 90 - 65 = 25 degrees
CDE is congruent, isosceles triangle and all that: CDE=25
That leaves DCE=180-25-25=130 degrees
That's the measure of arc DE as well:
Answer: 130 degrees, choice A
Let's see what the options look like when we multiply the expressions in brackets:
(first, i multiply both parts of the second bracked by the first part of the first bracket, and then the same with the second part of the first bracket:
<span>(1) (3x - 3)(x - 2))
3x2 +6x -3x +6// this is not correct
(2) (3x + 3)(x - 2) </span>
3x2-6x+3x-6//this is not correct
(3)
3(x + 1)(x - 2)
3(x2-2x+x-2)//simplifying:
3(x2-x-2)//multiplying:
3x2-3x-6)
- so this is not correct either
(4) 3(x - 1)(x - 2)
3(x2-2x - x + 2)
3(x2-3x +2)
3x2-9x +6 - well, here is our winner!
Answer: x= 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug the second equation into the first equation’s y.
3x-2(-2x+7)=21
Then use distribution
3x+4x-14=21
Add 4x and 3x
7x-14=21
Then add 14 to both sides
7x=35
Divide by 7 to get x
35/7=5
x=5
A=h(b+c)
A/h=b+c
b=(A/h)-c
Answer: b=(A/h)-c
