NO LINKS. Find the measure of the angle or arc indicated. Part 2

9514 1404 393
Answer:
14. C) 136°
15. C) 40°
Step-by-step explanation:
Inscribed angles are half the measure of the arc they intercept. For an inscribed quadrilateral, this means opposite angles are supplementary.
__
14) ∠H +∠W = 180°
34x +55x +2 = 180
89x = 178 . . . . . . . . . subtract 2
x = 2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 89
arc VX = 2(34x) = 68(2) = 136 . . . degrees
__
15) The sum of angles in the triangle is 180°.
? + 80° + (120°/2) = 180°
? = 40° . . . . . . . . . . subtract 140°
Answer:
Solution given:
14.
34x+55x+2=180°[sum of opposite angle of a cyclic quadrilateral is supplementary]
89x=180°-2
x=178/89
x=2°
now
m arc VX=2× <H[ central angle is twice the inscribed angle standing on a same base]
m arc VX=2(34×2)=136°
Option C.
15.
Solution given:
<B=80°
<C=½ arc AB[central angle is twice the inscribed angle standing on a same base]
<C=½×120°=60°
we have
<A+<B+<C=180°[ sum of interior angle of a triangle is 180 ]
<A=180-80°-60°
<A=40°
option C.
