Circles: Chords, Radii, and Arcs

Hi everybody! big_smile

I need help seeing if I answered the following questions correctly smile

(The Image the questions are talking about is below)

#1- I choose A

1. If the diameter of circle M is 20, and the length of line segment DF is 12, what is the length of segment MJ?
A 6
B 45
C 4
D 8
E 17
F 3

#2- I choose B

2. If the measure of arc BFE is 80 degrees, then what is the measure of angle BME?
A 37 deg
B 80 deg
C 9 deg
D 23 deg
E 17 deg
F 41 deg

#3 I choose F

3. If there were an imaginary angle ACB, what would the measure of that angle be? (Hint: Remember that a line is an angle with a measure of 180 degrees, or that a circle has a total arc measure of 360 degrees.)
A 45 deg
B 19 deg
C 30 deg
D 60 deg
E 27 deg
F 90 deg

Thanks big_smile

Hi zee-f;

For 1) I have D.

For 2) I agree.

For 3) I agree.

Re: Circles: Chords, Radii, and Arcs

I agree that #1 is D but I was stuck between subtracting or just or dividing the 12

Re: Circles: Chords, Radii, and Arcs

Isn't line segment DJ  half of DF. So since line segment DF= 12  line segment DJ= 6 ?

So you used the sides of 6 and the hypoteneuse of 20
6^2 + b^2 = 20^2 ?????

Re: Circles: Chords, Radii, and Arcs

That is what I get neutral

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

6^2 + b^2 = 10^2

Then we simplify:

36 + b^2 = 20

Then we solve for b:

b^2 = 20 - 36

b^2 = -16

Take the square root of both sides:

SQRT b^2 = SQRT -16

b = -4

Hi;

36 + b^2 = 20

10^2 is not 20.

Re: Circles: Chords, Radii, and Arcs

but why did you use 10^2 ?
I am getting really confused for some reason I mean everything was clear when I read the lesson but some problems really confuse the whole thing neutral

ooooooh since we divided the 12 by half the 20 by half to I get it now

Re: Circles: Chords, Radii, and Arcs

The radius is half the diameter, so side MD is 10. This is the hypotenuse of right triangle.

Re: Circles: Chords, Radii, and Arcs

Hi;

4) E , I agree.

Let's stop right here.

5) Your answer of 15 is impossible. The hypotenuse is 15 and it is always the longest side of a right triangle. Please try again.

Re: Circles: Chords, Radii, and Arcs

18 *1/2 = 9 So the answer would be 9

Re: Circles: Chords, Radii, and Arcs

IH=9

oh so
15^2 - 9^2 = 225- 81=144

√144 = 12

So the answer is 12

Re: Circles: Chords, Radii, and Arcs

Hi,

#6-  Imagine there is a line segment AD, and a line segment BF. If the measure of angle DAB is 60 degrees, what is the measure of angle DFB?

#6-
A 54 deg
B 167 deg
C 135 deg
D 175 deg
E 30 deg
F 120 deg

I agree that it is 120 deg because The measure of an inscribed angle is equal to one-half the degree measure of its intercepted arc.  So since I know that angle angle DAB has a measure of 60 degrees, I can know that arc fb must have a measure of 120 degrees, and the measure of a angle is equal to the length of the arc it defines. So the arc is 120 degrees  So the measure of angle DFB is 120 deg
