Let's solve the problems in the image.


Problem 5

In the circle, the arc BC\overset{\frown}{BC} is labeled 8080^\circ. We need to find the measure of arc BA\overset{\frown}{BA}.

  • The total measure of a circle is 360360^\circ.
  • The measure of the remaining arc BA\overset{\frown}{BA} can be calculated by subtracting BC\overset{\frown}{BC} from 360360^\circ: BA=36080=280\overset{\frown}{BA} = 360^\circ - 80^\circ = 280^\circ

Answer for Problem 5: The measure of BA\overset{\frown}{BA} is 280280^\circ.


Problem 6

In the circle, the central angle XWV\angle XWV is 4242^\circ. We need to find the measure of arc WV\overset{\frown}{WV}.

  • In a circle, the measure of an arc is equal to the measure of its corresponding central angle.
  • Hence, the measure of arc WV\overset{\frown}{WV} is: WV=42\overset{\frown}{WV} = 42^\circ

Answer for Problem 6: The measure of WV\overset{\frown}{WV} is 4242^\circ.
