Exercise 32 Page 739

Recall that in a circle two minor arcs are congruent if and only if their corresponding chords are congruent.

x=55

Practice makes perfect

Let's look at the given diagram.

Recall that in a circle two minor arcs are congruent if and only if their corresponding chords are congruent. Since GH≅KJ, the arcs GH and KJ are congruent. mGH& =mKJ 83&=2x-27 Let's solve the above equation using inverse operations.
83=2x-27
110=2x
2x=110
x=55
The value of x is 55.
