Math Problem Statement
calculate the missing sides
Solution
Let's solve for the missing angles in each of the given figures.
1. Triangle with angles 70° and 50°:
We need to find angle .
In a triangle, the sum of the interior angles is always 180°. So, angle .
2. Triangle with angles 34° and 78°:
We need to find angle .
Again, the sum of the interior angles in a triangle is 180°. So, angle .
3. Circle with central angle and intersecting chords:
Given: and we need to find .
To solve this problem, we need to understand the properties of angles in a circle.
- The central angle .
- subtends the arc .
- The angle at the circumference subtended by the same arc () is half of the central angle.
For angle , we use the fact that angles subtended by the same arc are equal.
Since is the angle at the circumference subtended by arc , and is the same arc subtended at point , thus, So, angle .
