Math Problem Statement

Find x

Solution

To solve for xx in the given circle diagram:

Step 1: Analyze the Diagram

  • The circle has points AA, BB, CC, and DD on its circumference.
  • The center of the circle is labeled OO.
  • Angle BOD=x\angle BOD = x^\circ.
  • BAC=95\angle BAC = 95^\circ and ABC=30\angle ABC = 30^\circ.

Step 2: Understand the Relationships

  • Angle at the center ( BOD\angle BOD ): The angle subtended by arc BDBD at the center is twice the angle subtended by the same arc at the circumference ( BAC\angle BAC ).

Step 3: Apply the Angle at Center Theorem

  • According to the angle at the center theorem: BOD=2×BAC\angle BOD = 2 \times \angle BAC Substituting the given values: x=2×95x = 2 \times 95^\circ x=190x = 190^\circ

Thus, x=190x = 190^\circ.

Conclusion

The value of xx is 190190^\circ.

Tip: Remember that in circle geometry, angles subtended by the same arc at different points on the circumference are always equal.
