Math Problem Statement

Solve geometry problems related to angles and arcs in a circle, given specific inscribed angles and central angles as shown in the provided image.

Solution

Let’s solve each question step by step using geometric principles related to circles.

Question 5:

  • The angle at AA (the one marked "?") is the inscribed angle subtending the same arc as the angle 8080^\circ at CC.
  • The property of inscribed angles states that they subtend half the arc they correspond to. Thus: Angle at A=Angle at C2=802=40\text{Angle at } A = \frac{\text{Angle at } C}{2} = \frac{80^\circ}{2} = 40^\circ

Question 6:

  • The angle 4242^\circ at XX is an inscribed angle subtending arc WVWV.
  • By the same property: Angle at W=Arc measure of WV2\text{Angle at } W = \frac{\text{Arc measure of } WV}{2} Since the arc WVWV corresponds to 2×422 \times 42^\circ: Arc measure of WV=2×42=84\text{Arc measure of } WV = 2 \times 42^\circ = 84^\circ

Question 7:

  • The given angle 3535^\circ at EE is an inscribed angle subtending arc DFDF. The central angle subtending the same arc is: Angle DPF=2×35=70\text{Angle } DPF = 2 \times 35^\circ = 70^\circ

Question 8:

  • The angles at D,C,BD, C, B form a triangle. The sum of angles in a triangle is 180180^\circ: 49+70+?=18049^\circ + 70^\circ + ? = 180^\circ Solving for the missing angle: ?=1804970=61? = 180^\circ - 49^\circ - 70^\circ = 61^\circ

Final Answers:

  1. Question 5: 4040^\circ
  2. Question 6: 8484^\circ (Arc measure)
  3. Question 7: 7070^\circ (Angle at DPFDPF)
  4. Question 8: 6161^\circ (Angle)
