Question

Please please help!!! Study the diagram of circle Z. Points P, O, Q, and R lie on circle Z in such a way that OP¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯≅QR¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯. If m∠QZR=(2x+9)∘ and m∠PZO=(4x−11)∘, what is the value of x?

x=3.3
x=15.3
x=10
x=12

Answer 1

x=10

Explanation:

4·x - 11 is equal to 2·x + 9

4·x - 2·x = 9 + 11

2·x = 20

x = 10

The value of the measured angles are;

4·x - 11 = 4×10 - 11 = 40 - 11 = 29°

The value of x is 10°

Answer 2

The correct option is

x = 10

Explanation:

in a circle Given that chord
`\overline {OP}` is congruent to
`\overline {QR}`, we have;

Measured angle m∠RZQ is congruent to measured angle m∠PZO

Congruent chords are subtended by congruent angles at the center of the circle

Therefore we have;

4·x - 11 is equal to 2·x + 9

4·x - 2·x = 9 + 11

2·x = 20

x = 10

The value of the measured angles are;

4·x - 11 = 4×10 - 11 = 40 - 11 = 29°

The value of x is 10°.
