Explain how you can use the inscribed angle theorem to justify its second corollary, that an angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

An inscribed angle is an angle formed by two chords in a circle which have a common endpoint. This common endpoint forms the vertex of the inscribed angle. The other two endpoints define what we call an intercepted arc on the circle. The intercepted arc might be thought of as the part of the circle which is "inside" the inscribed angle. (See the pink part of the circle in the picture above.)

A central angle is any angle whose vertex is located at the center of a circle. A central angle necessarily passes through two points on the circle, which in turn divide the circle into two arcs: a major arc and a minor arc. The minor arc is the smaller of the two arcs, while the major arc is the bigger. We define the arc angle to be the measure of the central angle which intercepts it.

The Inscribed Angle Conjecture I gives the relationship between the measures of an inscribed angle and the intercepted arc angle. It says that the measure of the intercepted arc is twice that of the inscribed angle.

The precise statements of the conjectures are given below. Each conjecture has a linked Sketch Pad demonstration to illustrate its truth (proof by Geometer's Sketch Pad!). The linked activities sheet also include directions for further "hands on" investigations involving these conjectures, as well as geometric problems which utilize their results.

The precise statement of the conjectures:

Conjecture (Inscribed Angles Conjecture I ): In a circle, the measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of the central angle with the same intercepted arc..

Corollary (Inscribed Angles Conjecture II ): In a circle, two inscribed angles with the same intercepted arc are congruent.

Proof: The measure of each inscribed angle is exactly half the measure of its intercepted arc. Since they have the same intercepted arc, they have the same measure.

Corollary (Inscribed Angles Conjecture III ): Any angle inscribed in a semi-circle is a right angle.

Proof: The intercepted arc for an angle inscribed in a semi-circle is 180 degrees. Therefore the measure of the angle must be half of 180, or 90 degrees. In other words, the angle is a right angle.

Answer:

[tex]cos(x)=-\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}[/tex]

[tex]sin(x)=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]tan(x)=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }[/tex]

[tex]csc(x)=2[/tex]

[tex]sec(x)=-\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}[/tex]

[tex]cot(x)=-\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

(I'll just use x for ease of writing)

We have the trig equation [tex]cos(x)=-\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}[/tex], and we know that its terminal side is in the 2nd quadrant. By using a unit circle, we can determine that the angle is [tex]\frac{5\pi}{6}[/tex] which has an ordered pair of [tex](-\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2},\frac{1}{2} )[/tex]

[tex]sin(x)=y[/tex], so [tex]sin(x)=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]tan(x)=\frac{y}{x}[/tex], so [tex]tan(x)=\frac{\frac{1}{2} }{-\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} }=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }[/tex]

Now that we have sin, cos, and tan, we can just take the reciprocal of each of these to get our answers for csc, sec, and cot.

[tex]csc(x)=\frac{1}{sin(x)}[/tex], so [tex]csc(x)=2[/tex]

[tex]sec(x)=\frac{1}{cos(x)}[/tex], so [tex]sec(x)=-\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}[/tex]

[tex]cot(x)=\frac{1}{tan(x)}[/tex], so [tex]cot(x)=-\sqrt{3}[/tex]

O B. g(x) = (x - 42 - 3
O C. g(x) = (x – 4)2 + 3
O D. g(x) = (x+4)2 + 3

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) then the graph of f(x + a) is a horizontal translation of f(x)

• If a > 0 then a shift to the left of a units

• If a < 0 then a shift to the right of a units

Given f(x) then the graph of f(x) + c is a vertical translation of f(x)

• If c > 0 then a shift up of c units

• If c < 0 then a shift down of c units

Here f(x) has been shifted 4 units left and 3 units down, thus

g(x) = (x + 4)² - 3 → A

Which is greater 15/27 or 16/24

Answers

Answer:

16/24

Step-by-step explanation:

let’s use the GCF of both which is 3 for 15/27

15/27 divided by 3 is 5/9

for 16/24 the gcf is 8

16/24 / 8 is 2/3

now we have to multiply 2/3 times 3

2/3 times 3 6/3 which is 2

so 16/24 is greater.

Calculate the mean given the frequency table
Class
Frequency
0-9
24
10-19
20
20-29
32

Answers

Answer:

So the mean of the given data set is approximately 15.55.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is calculated by taking the sum of the product of each class midpoint and its corresponding frequency and dividing by the total frequency.

The midpoint of each class can be calculated as the average of the lower and upper class boundaries:

Class 0-9: Midpoint = (0 + 9) / 2 = 4.5

Class 10-19: Midpoint = (10 + 19) / 2 = 14.5

Class 20-29: Midpoint = (20 + 29) / 2 = 24.5

Now we can find the sum of the product of each midpoint and its frequency:

(4.5 * 24) + (14.5 * 20) + (24.5 * 32) = 108 + 290 + 784 = 1182

Finally, we divide this sum by the total frequency (76) to find the mean:

1182 / 76 = 15.552632

So the mean of the given data set is approximately 15.55.

What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the linear
graph of y= -2/3x+5 and passes through the point (0, -2)?

Answers

Answer:

y=3/2x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

gradient line 1= -2/3

perpendicular meaning gradients when multiplied should be -1

gradient line 2=3/2

y+2=3/2

x-0

y+2=3/2(x-0)

y+2=3/2x-0

y=3/2x-2

The equation of the line perpendicular to the linear graph of y= -2/3x+5 and passes through the point (0, -2) is y = 3x/2-2 (1st option is correct)

What is slope?

The slope of a line is a number that describes both the direction and the steepness of the line.

Given that, a line is perpendicular to the linear graph of y= -2/3x+5 and passes through the point (0, -2)

The standard equation of a line is y = mx+c, where m is the slope of the line.

We know that, the slopes of the lines which are perpendicular to each other are negative reciprocal of each other,

Therefore, the slope of the asked line is 3/2.

Finding the c,

-2 = 3/2X0 + c

c = -2

Therefore, the equation will be,

y = 3x/2-2

Hence, The equation of the line perpendicular to the linear graph of y= -2/3x+5 and passes through the point (0, -2) is y = 3x/2-2

What is the solution to the equation 1/4x +2= -5/8x - 5

Answers

Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4x +2= -5/8x - 5

Add 5/8x to each side

1/4x +5/8x +2= -5/8x+5/8x - 5

1/4x+5/8x +2=  - 5

Subtract 2 from each side

1/4x+5/8x +2-2=  - 5-2

1/4x+5/8x =  - 7

Get a common denominator

1/4 *2/2 x + 5/8x = -7

2/8x + 5/8x = -7

7/8x = -7

Multiply each side by 8/7

8/7x * 7/8x = -7 *8/7

x = -8
