Hi zee-f;

For 1) I have D.

For 2) I agree.

For 3) I agree.

I agree that #1 is D but I was stuck between subtracting or just or dividing the 12

Hi;

I used Pythagoras there.

zee-f · 2012-10-29 11:11:16

Isn't line segment DJ half of DF. So since line segment DF= 12 line segment DJ= 6 ?

So you used the sides of 6 and the hypoteneuse of 20
6^2 + b^2 = 20^2 ?????

bobbym · 2012-10-29 11:13:29

6^2 + b^2 = 10^2

zee-f · 2012-10-29 11:25:09

That is what I get

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

6^2 + b^2 = 10^2

Then we simplify:

36 + b^2 = 20

Then we solve for b:

b^2 = 20 - 36

b^2 = -16

Take the square root of both sides:

SQRT b^2 = SQRT -16

b = -4

bobbym · 2012-10-29 11:26:30

Hi;

36 + b^2 = 20

10^2 is not 20.

zee-f · 2012-10-29 11:33:33

but why did you use 10^2 ?
I am getting really confused for some reason I mean everything was clear when I read the lesson but some problems really confuse the whole thing

zee-f · 2012-10-29 11:35:19

ooooooh since we divided the 12 by half the 20 by half to I get it now

bobbym · 2012-10-29 11:37:20

The radius is half the diameter, so side MD is 10. This is the hypotenuse of right triangle.

bobbym · 2012-10-29 11:45:35

Hi;

4) E , I agree.

Let's stop right here.

5) Your answer of 15 is impossible. The hypotenuse is 15 and it is always the longest side of a right triangle. Please try again.

zee-f · 2012-10-29 12:27:01

18 *1/2 = 9 So the answer would be 9

bobbym · 2012-10-29 12:30:35

How long is IH?

zee-f · 2012-10-29 12:40:38

IH=9

oh so
15^2 - 9^2 = 225- 81=144

√144 = 12

So the answer is 12

bobbym · 2012-10-29 12:43:40

That is correct!

For 6) I am getting F.

zee-f · 2012-10-29 13:25:46

Thanks for all the help am going to take a rest a little been sitting on the computer for like more than 3 hours

Thank you so so much for all the help really appreciate it

zee-f · 2012-10-29 13:26:54

I will review #6-#10 tomorrow

bobbym · 2012-10-29 13:27:12

Hi;

Did you check number 6?

Then get some rest. See you tomorrow.

zee-f · 2012-10-30 01:37:30

Hi,

#6- Imagine there is a line segment AD, and a line segment BF. If the measure of angle DAB is 60 degrees, what is the measure of angle DFB?

#6-
A 54 deg
B 167 deg
C 135 deg
D 175 deg
E 30 deg
F 120 deg

I agree that it is 120 deg because The measure of an inscribed angle is equal to one-half the degree measure of its intercepted arc. So since I know that angle angle DAB has a measure of 60 degrees, I can know that arc fb must have a measure of 120 degrees, and the measure of a angle is equal to the length of the arc it defines. So the arc is 120 degrees So the measure of angle DFB is 120 deg

bobbym · 2012-10-30 02:00:37

Hi;

Okay then I am getting 7 A.

zee-f · 2012-10-30 03:27:48

Did you subtract 180-95 and got 85 so that is the answer ?

zee-f · 2012-10-30 03:35:44

I like my answer on #8 but

9- I choose D.
