Math Problem Statement

Find the indicated Angle or Arc measure. HINT: You can “DRAW” your “OWN CENTRAL ANGLES” from the Center if you need to. The Measure of an ARC is the same as the MEASURE of its CORRESPONDING Central Angle!

Find the indicated Angle or Arc measure. HINT: You can “DRAW” your “OWN CENTRAL ANGLES” from the Center if you need to. The Measure of an ARC is the same as the MEASURE of its CORRESPONDING Central Angle!

Solution

To solve these problems, let's analyze each question systematically:


Question 5: The arc \overarcCA\overarc{CA} is subtended by angle BCA\angle BCA of 8080^\circ. The measure of arc \overarcBA\overarc{BA}, the angle subtended by the central angle at the center, is ??.

Since \overarcCA+\overarcBA=360\overarc{CA} + \overarc{BA} = 360^\circ (a full circle): \overarcBA=36080=280\overarc{BA} = 360^\circ - 80^\circ = 280^\circ


Question 6: The given inscribed angle XWV\angle XWV is 4242^\circ. An inscribed angle subtends an arc twice its measure. Hence: \overarcXV=2×42=84\overarc{XV} = 2 \times 42^\circ = 84^\circ


Question 7: The given angle DEF\angle DEF is 3535^\circ, which is an inscribed angle. Its subtended arc \overarcDPF\overarc{DPF} will be: \overarcDPF=2×35=70\overarc{DPF} = 2 \times 35^\circ = 70^\circ


Question 8: The triangle within the circle is inscribed, so the angles BCD\angle BCD, CDB\angle CDB, and DBC\angle DBC sum to 180180^\circ. Given BCD=70\angle BCD = 70^\circ and CDB=49\angle CDB = 49^\circ, we can calculate DBC\angle DBC: DBC=180(70+49)=61\angle DBC = 180^\circ - (70^\circ + 49^\circ) = 61^\circ

Now, the arc subtended by DBC\angle DBC will be: \overarcBD=2×61=122\overarc{BD} = 2 \times 61^\circ = 122^\circ


Summary of Answers:

  1. Question 5: \overarcBA=280\overarc{BA} = 280^\circ
  2. Question 6: \overarcXV=84\overarc{XV} = 84^\circ
  3. Question 7: \overarcDPF=70\overarc{DPF} = 70^\circ
  4. Question 8: \overarcBD=122\overarc{BD} = 122^\circ
