Find the value of x.
A. 70
B. 30
C. 65
D. 40

Option (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

By applying triangle sum theorem in ΔBCP,

m∠CBP + m∠CPB + m∠BCP = 180°

15° + 20° + m∠BCP = 180°

m∠BCP = 145°

m∠ACB + m∠BCP = 180° [Linear pair of angles are supplementary]

m∠ACB + 145° = 180°

m∠ACB = 35°

Since, ∠ACB is the inscribed angle and AB is the intercepted arc.

Therefore, m(arc AB) = 2m(∠ACB)

m(arc AB) = 2 × 35°

                 = 70°

Therefore, Option (A) is the correct option.

step-by-step explanation:

(2x + 16) + (x) = 180

step-by-step explanation:

given,

abcd is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle

angle a is labeled x plus 16, (x + 16)

angle b is labeled x degrees, (x)

angle c is labeled 6x minus 4, (6x – 4)

angle d is labeled 2x plus 16, (2x + 16)

what equation can be used to solve for angle b?

we know that the sum of the opposite angles of a simple quadrilateral inscribed in a circle is 180 degrees.

angle b is opposite angle d

therefore, angle b + angle d = 180

(x) + (2x + 16) = 180 

same as (2x + 16) + (x) = 180
