Exercise 38 Page 263

A full turn of a circle measures 360^(∘).

62.5^(∘)

Practice makes perfect

Zack will drill holes at the points A, B, C, D, and E on the circle P. Given that the measure of ∠APE is 110^(∘) and the other four angles are congruent, we will find the measure of ∠CPD.

Circle with five lines from the center point P to the circumference. The end points of the line are labeled A, B, C, D, and E; the angle at APE is 110 degrees.
Let's label each of the four congruent angles as x.
Circle
Since a full turn of a circle measures 360^(∘), the sum of 4x and 110 is equal to 360. 4x+110=360 Let's now solve this equation for x.
4x+110=360
4x=250
x=62.5
Therefore, the measure of ∠CPD is 62.5^(∘).
