Math Problem Statement
Circle [D] is below. What is the arc measure of minor arc [\stackrel{\large{\frown}}{BC}] in degrees?
Solution
In the diagram, the given angles represent central angles, which correspond to the arcs subtended by the respective points on the circumference of the circle. The problem asks for the arc measure of the minor arc , subtended by angle .
The central angles given are as follows:
Since the sum of the central angles around a point (point in this case) is , we can form an equation:
Let’s solve for .It seems like I can’t do more advanced data analysis right now. Please try again later. However, you can solve for manually using the equation:
Simplify the equation to:
Then solve for , and substitute it back to find the value of .
