• Angles DXC and AXB form a vertical pair, so they are congruent and have the same measure.
• ∆ABD is isosceles, since it's given that AD and BD are congruent. This means the "base angles" BAD and ABD have the same measure; call this measure <em>x</em>.
• The measure of angle ADB can be computed by using the inscribed angle theorem, which says
m∠ADB = 1/2 (100°) = 50°
(that is, it's half the measure of the subtended arc AB whose measure is 100°)
• The interior angle to any triangle sum to 180° in measure. So we have in ∆ABD,
m∠ADB + 2<em>x</em> = 180°
Solve for <em>x</em> :
50° + 2<em>x</em> = 180°
2<em>x</em> = 130°
<em>x</em> = 65°
• Use the inscribed angle theorem again to find the measure of angle BAC. This will be half the measure of the subtended arc BC, so
m∠BAC = 1/2 (50°) = 25°
• Now in ∆ABX, we have
m∠AXB + 25° + 65° = 180°
m∠AXB = 90°
Hence m∠DXC = 90°.

Answer:
Recall that probability is given as; the number of required outcome over the number of total possible outcome.
The probability that a transmitter receives the signal being sent by itself is given as .
when there are n transmitters, the probability will be given as
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability simply the likelihood of an event occurring or not occurring.
Probability therefore is given as; the number of required outcome over number of possible outcome.
In the case of the first part above we have the number of required outcome to be at least one divided by the number of possible outcome which is 3.
while in the second part we have the number o possible outcome to be n.
