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 (the one marked "?") is the inscribed angle subtending the same arc as the angle at .
- The property of inscribed angles states that they subtend half the arc they correspond to. Thus:
Question 6:
- The angle at is an inscribed angle subtending arc .
- By the same property: Since the arc corresponds to :
Question 7:
- The given angle at is an inscribed angle subtending arc . The central angle subtending the same arc is:
Question 8:
- The angles at form a triangle. The sum of angles in a triangle is : Solving for the missing angle:
Final Answers:
- Question 5:
- Question 6: (Arc measure)
- Question 7: (Angle at )
- Question 8: (Angle)
