Answer:

1. mCD is equal to 84 degrees.

2. I believe that RPT would be equal to approximately 51 feet. I think I am right, but I am not 100% sure. I used formula though.

Explanation:

1. In order to find the measure of CD, you would find the measure of AD and CD, because they add to 180, and from there you can take the answer, which will be the x value, and plug it back into measure CD's equation.

1. Add the equations of mAD and mCD and set them equal to 180, because together on the graph they add to 180 degrees, which is a semi-circle.

19x-49+5x+37=180

24x-12=180

2. Solve.

24x-12=180

24x=168

x=7

3. Plug x back into mCD and find the answer!

19(7)-49=84

mCD= 84 degrees!

2. Arc Length Formula

2
\pir degrees/360

2pi (14) 208/360≈51
