AB and DE are chords that intersect at point F inside circle C as shown. If the measure of arc EA= 50 degrees and the measure of arc DB= 70 degrees, what is the measure of angle AFE and angle EFB?

Help please!

Part 1)

Part 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) what is the measure of angle AFE

we know that

The measure of the interior angle is the semisum of the arches that comprise it and its opposite.

Note: In this problem the correct measure of arc EA is 40 degrees (see the picture)

so

substitute the given values

Part 2) what is the measure of angle  EFB?

we know that

---> by supplementary angles (form a linear pair)

so

substitute the given value

step-by-step explanation:

we have

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

this is a quadratic equation (vertical parabola) open up

the vertex is a > vertex

the domain of the function is all real > interval (-∞,∞)

the range of the function is the > [-6.125,∞)

the function has two x->   and

the function is increasing over the > (0.25,∞)

the function is decreasing over the > (-∞,0.25)

step-by-step explanation:

this can be solved first with pythagorean theorem, which tells us to square both legs of the triangle and sum it. this will be equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

the hypotenuse is the side "opposite" the 90 degree angle, which is x.

so we can write using pythagorean theorem,

simplifying:

to further simplify this radical, we need to use the property  

thus
