The measures of the angles that are not the vertex of the inscribed angle are x and 2x-9. Find the measures of all three angles of the triangle. Explain how you got your answer. \n" ); document.write( "--------- \n" ); document.write( "The vertex angle intersects an arc of 180 degrees. \n" ); document.write( "So it is a right angle. \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "The sum of the other 2 angles is 90 degrees. \n" ); document.write( "Equation: \n" ); document.write( "x + 2x-9 = 90 \n" ); document.write( "3x = 99 \n" ); document.write( "x = 33 degrees \n" ); document.write( "2x-9 = 57 degrees \n" ); document.write( "======================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "====================== \n" ); document.write( " |
