Question

A sector contains $\small 12.5%$ of a circle. What is the measure of the central angle of the sector?

Answer

An entire circle is $\small 360^\circ$ . A sector that is $\small 12.5%$ of the circle therefore has a central angle that is $\small 12.5%$ of $\small 360^\circ$ .

$\small 12.5%(360)=45$

Therefore, our central angle is $\small 45^\circ$

Question

If you have percent of a circle, what is the angle, in degrees, that creates that region?

Answer

A full circle has 360 degrees, which means that 100% of the circle is 360 degrees.

Now you need to convert into a decimal.

$66.7% \rightarrow $\frac{66.7}{100}$=0.667$

If you multiply 360 by 0.667, you get the degree measure that corresponds to the percentage, which is 240.

$360 \cdot 0.667=240$

Question

$m \angle AXC = $135^{\circ }$$ ; $arc\ \widehat{AB} = $24^{\circ }$$ ; $arc\ \widehat{AC} = $94^{\circ }$$

Find the degree measure of $arc\ \widehat{CD}$ .

Answer

When two chords of a circle intersect, the measure of the angle they form is half the sum of the measures of the arcs they intercept. Therefore,

$m \angle AXB = $\frac{m; \widehat{AB}$ + m; \widehat{CD} }{2}$

Since $\angle AXB$ and $\angle AXC$ form a linear pair, $m \angle AXB + m \angle AXC = 180$ , and $m \angle AXB = 180 - m \angle AXC = 180 - 135 = $45^{\circ }$$ .

Substitute $m; \widehat{AB} = 24$ and $m \angle AXB = 45$ into the first equation:

$45 = $\frac{24 + m; \widehat{CD}$ }{2}$

$90 =24 + m; \widehat{CD}$

$66 = m; \widehat{CD}$
