Question 389910
In circle P (P is center) , if BP=60 degrees, what is the length of BC?
 Round to the nearest tenth.
 Note: On my homework, it shows a picture of the circle.
 Line AC is a diameter, it is diagonal, C is at the upper right and A is at the lower left.
 From P, BP is a radius, it is vertical and on top of P.
 On the contrary, DP is another radius shown, and is horizontal to the right of P.

:
I think I can sort this out but am puzzled by BP=60 degrees, perhaps you mean
the length of BP is 60 units of some kind, so the radius = 60
:
The way I see this. Angle BPD = 90 degrees, Angle BPC = 45 degrees
If this is not the case, ignore my solution, I don't know how this should look
:
BPC is an isocoles triangle the two equal angles PBC and PCB = {{{(180-45)/2}}} = 67.5 degrees
Line BC is opposite 45 degrees, use the law of sines:
{{{(BC)/sin(45)}}} = {{{60/sin(67.5)}}}
find the sines and Cross Multiply
.92388(BC) = .707*60
BC = {{{42.426/.92399}}}
BC = 43.9
