MKL = 83, JKL = 127, JKM = 9x - 10 <em>given</em>
JKL + MKL = JKM <em>angle addition postulate</em>
127 + 83 = 9x - 10 <em>substitution</em>
210 = 9x - 10 <em>simplify (add like terms)</em>
220 = 9x <em>addition property of equality</em>
= x
Hi there! :)
Find the central angle using a ratio in regards to angle and circumference.
The radius is 27 units, so use the following equation to calculate circumference:
C = 2rπ
Therefore:
C = 2(27)π = 54π
Since we have the total circumference, we can write the following proportion:
Cross multiply:
54πx = 6480π
Divide both sides by 54π to isolate for x:
x = 120°
