Circle Angles Chords
1. Statement of problem: Find the radius, diameter, center, and other circle parts as labeled, then solve algebraic problems involving central and inscribed angles.
2. Definitions:
- Radius: segment from center O to a point on the circle (e.g., OB).
- Diameter: chord passing through the center (e.g., AC).
- Center: point O.
- Interior point: point inside circle but not center (e.g., E).
- Exterior point: point outside circle (e.g., F).
- Chord: segment joining two points on the circle (e.g., AB).
- Secant line: line crossing circle in two points (line through D).
- Tangent line: line touching circle at one point (at C).
- Point of tangency: point C.
3. Algebra problems:
21. Given: m∠AOC=85°, AC=5x. Since ∠AOC is a central angle, its intercepted arc AC has measure equal to 85°.
So, mAC = 85 = 5x
Solve for x:
$$5x=85$$
$$x=\frac{85}{5}=17$$
Answer: x=17
22. Chords AE and BF are congruent.
Distance from center to AE = x+4
Distance from center to BF = 3x-4
Since chords are congruent, their distances from center are equal:
$$x+4 = 3x -4$$
$$4+4=3x - x$$
$$8=2x$$
$$x=4$$
Find chord lengths:
We don't have chord length formula here, but since distances are equal, the chord lengths are equal. Without length formula, length cannot be numerically found.
Answer: The chords AE and BF have equal length but value cannot be determined without more info.
23. ∠DOC is inscribed angle intercepting DC.
mDC = 148°, m∠DOC = 5x -2
The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of its intercepted arc:
$$m\angle DOC = \frac{1}{2} mDC$$
$$5x -2 = \frac{148}{2} = 74$$
$$5x = 74 + 2 = 76$$
$$x = \frac{76}{5} = 15.2$$
Find m∠DOC:
$$5(15.2) -2 = 76 - 2 = 74°$$
Answer: m∠DOC = 74°
24. ∠ABC and ∠AFC intercept the same arc.
Given m∠ABC = 7x -5, m∠AFC = 3x + 19.
Since intercept same arc, angles are equal:
$$7x -5 = 3x +19$$
$$7x -3x = 19 +5$$
$$4x = 24$$
$$x=6$$
Find angles:
$$7(6) -5 = 42 -5 = 37°$$
$$3(6) +19 = 18 + 19 = 37°$$
Answer: Each angle measures 37°
25. ∠XYZ intercepts semicircle.
For angle that intercepts a semicircle, the angle is a straight angle (180°).
Given m∠XYZ = 2x + 6
So:
$$2x + 6 = 180$$
$$2x = 174$$
$$x = 87$$
Answer: x = 87
26. Opposite angles ∠M and ∠O in quadrilateral inscribed in circle are supplementary.
Given m∠M = 3x +4, m∠O = 2x + 6
Since supplementary:
$$m∠M + m∠O = 180$$
$$(3x +4) + (2x +6) = 180$$
$$5x +10=180$$
$$5x=170$$
$$x=34$$
Find angles:
$$m∠M=3(34)+4=102 +4 =106°$$
$$m∠O=2(34)+6=68 +6 =74°$$
Answer: m∠M=106°, m∠O=74°
27. Chords ST and UV intersect at point X inside circle.
Given SX=5, XT=8, UV=10, XV=3x
By chord segment theorem:
$$SX imes XT = VX imes XU$$
But VX = 3x, UV=10 then XU = UV - XV = 10 - 3x
So:
$$5 imes 8 = 3x (10 - 3x)$$
$$40 = 30x - 9x^{2}$$
Rearranged:
$$9x^{2} - 30x + 40 = 0$$
Divide entire eq by 1 (no simplification): solve quadratic:
Discriminant:
$$\Delta = (-30)^{2} - 4 \times 9 \times 40 = 900 - 1440 = -540 <0$$
No real solution=> check data or problem setup.
Assuming typo, maybe XV=x not 3x; if XV=x:
$$5 imes 8 = x (10 - x)$$
$$40 = 10x - x^{2}$$
$$x^{2} -10x +40=0$$
Discriminant:
$$\Delta=100 -160 = -60 <0$$
No real roots either.
Possibly problem expects algebraic form answer only.
Answer: No real solution with given data.
28. Given m∠SXV=85°, m∠SV=100°, m∠TU=4x.
No direct relation given: must relate angle sum or supplementary.
Assuming angles in triangle or quadrilateral add 180 or 360.
Check if m∠SXV + m∠SV + m∠TU = 180:
$$85 + 100 + 4x =180$$
$$185 +4x=180$$
$$4x= -5$$
$$x= -1.25$$
Negative x unlikely.
Possibility: missing problem details.
Answer: Insufficient data to solve accurately.
Summary:
- Solved problems 21, 23, 24, 25, 26 successfully.
- Problem 22: solved for x but chord length not found.
- Problems 27, 28: no real or consistent solution with given data.
