When arc AB= 122°24', determine the number of degrees for each arc or angle?

Sagot :

a.

The angle ∠1 inscribes the arc AB, so its measure is half the measure of the arc, so we have:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \angle1=\frac{AB}{2} \\ \angle1=\frac{122\degree24^{\prime}}{2} \\ \angle1=61\degree12^{\prime} \end{gathered}[/tex]

b.

Since AC is the diagonal of the circle, the arc AC has 180°.

Angle ∠2 inscribes this arc, so we have:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \angle2=\frac{AC}{2} \\ \angle2=\frac{180}{2} \\ \angle2=90\degree \end{gathered}[/tex]

c.

In order to find arc BC, we can sum all three arcs and make it equal 360°:

[tex]\begin{gathered} AB+BC+AC=360\degree \\ 122\degree24^{\prime}+BC+180\degree=360\degree \\ BC=360\degree-180\degree-122\degree24^{\prime} \\ BC=57\degree36^{\prime} \end{gathered}[/tex]
