Answer:
Problem 1)
Problem 2)
Problem 3)
Explanation:
Problem 1: ∠DEG
From the diagram, we know that ∠DFG intercepts Arc DG.
Inscribed angles have half the measure of its intercepted arc. Therefore:
We know that m∠DFG = 38°. So:
∠DEG also intercepts Arc DG. Hence:
We know that Arc DG measures 76°. Hence:
Alternate Explanation:
Since ∠DEG and ∠DFG intercept the same arc, ∠DEG ≅ DFG. So, m∠DEG = m∠DFG = 38°.
Problem 2: Circle with Centre O
(Let the bottom left corner be A, upper be B, and right be C.)
∠ACB intercepts Arc AC.
Inscribed angles have half the measure of its intercepted arc. Therefore:
Since m∠ACB = 70°:
∠x is a central angle and also intercepts Arc AC.
The measure of a central angle is equal to its intercepted arc. Thus:
The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is given by the formula:
Where n is the number of sides.
Since the inscribed figure is a four-sided polygon, its interior angles must total:
Therefore:
Substitute and solve for y:
Problem 3: ∠EDG
∠EFG intercepts Arc EDG.
Inscribed angles have half the measure of its intercepted arc. Therefore:
Since m∠EFG = 115°:
A full circle measures 360°. Hence:
Since we know that Arc EDG measures 230°:
Solve for Arc EFG:
∠EDG intercepts Arc EFG.
Inscribed angles have half the measure of its intercepted arc. Therefore:
Since we know that Arc EFG measures 130°:
