Math Problem Statement

The user uploaded a geometry worksheet with questions involving central angles and arc measures, with various circle-related problems asking to determine the arc measures based on given central angles and theorems about circles.

Solution

I see you've uploaded a geometry worksheet involving central angles and arc measures. Let me break down and solve each problem systematically:


1)

  • Given a central angle of 100100^\circ, the arc measure is equal to the central angle.
  • Answer: The arc measure is 100100^\circ.

2)

  • Given one central angle of 120120^\circ, and assuming the entire circle is 360360^\circ, the unknown arc can be found by subtracting: 360120=240360^\circ - 120^\circ = 240^\circ
  • Answer: The arc measure is 240240^\circ.

3)

  • Two central angles are given: 7575^\circ and 140140^\circ.
  • Find the remaining arc measure by subtracting the sum of the two angles from 360360^\circ: 360(75+140)=360215=145360^\circ - (75^\circ + 140^\circ) = 360^\circ - 215^\circ = 145^\circ
  • Answer: The arc measure is 145145^\circ.

4)

  • The measure of LHJ\angle LHJ is asked, given adjacent angles 6060^\circ and 150150^\circ.
  • Since LHJ\angle LHJ is the sum of the two given angles: LHJ=60+150=210\angle LHJ = 60^\circ + 150^\circ = 210^\circ
  • Answer: mLHJ=210m\angle LHJ = 210^\circ.

5)

  • The central angles given are 4040^\circ and 6161^\circ.
  • To find mYTUm\angle YTU, subtract the given angles from 360360^\circ: 360(40+61)=360101=259360^\circ - (40^\circ + 61^\circ) = 360^\circ - 101^\circ = 259^\circ
  • Answer: mYTU=259m\angle YTU = 259^\circ.

6)

  • Central angles 91,85,91^\circ, 85^\circ, and 6464^\circ are given.
  • Find the measure of arc UWUW by adding the central angles: mUW=91+85+64=240m\angle UW = 91^\circ + 85^\circ + 64^\circ = 240^\circ
  • Answer: mUW=240m\angle UW = 240^\circ.

Additional Practice:

  1. What is the total sum of central angles in any circle?
  2. How do you calculate an unknown arc measure when given other arc measures?
  3. What is the relationship between a diameter and a semicircle in terms of arc measure?
  4. How would you approach solving for a missing central angle using algebra?
  5. Can a single central angle ever be larger than 180 degrees? Why or why not?

Tip: Always remember that the sum of central angles in a circle equals 360360^\circ.
