∠AED is formed inside a circle by two intersecting chords. If minor arc BD = 70 and minor arc AC = 180, what is the measure of ∠ AED? A) 45° B) 50° C) 55° D) 60°

Respuesta :

Answer: The measure of the angle AED is 55°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles of Intersecting Chords Theorem, Two chords intersect in a circle internally ( or inside the circle), then the angle formed is one half the sum of the measure of the arcs intercepted by the angle and its vertical angle.  

⇒ [tex]\angle AEC= \frac{180^{\circ}+70^{\circ}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \angle AEC =\frac{250}{2}=125^{\circ}[/tex]

Also, angles AEC and AED are linear pairs,

⇒ [tex]\angle AED+\angle AEC=180^{\circ}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\implies \angle AED = 180^{\circ}-\angle AEC[/tex]

[tex]= 180^{/circ}-125^{\circ}=55^{\circ}[/tex]

Hence, the measure of the angle AED is 55°.
