In the figure below, AB is a diameter of circle P.
What is the arc measure of ACD in degrees?
(7x+1)
(9x - 7)

Step-by-step explanation: By that reasoning, the arc measure of minor arc

AD

⌢

A, D, start superscript, \frown, end superscript is the acute measure of

∠

A

P

D

∠APDangle, A, P, D. We need to find the measure of major arc

ACD

⌢

A, C, D, start superscript, \frown, end superscript.

From the diagram, we see that

Step-by-step explanation:

take (7x + 1) + 90 (the square) + (9x - 7) = 180

true statements:

a) x + y = y + x   ⇒ commutative property of addition

b) (x * y) * z = x * (y * z) ⇒ associative property of multiplication

d) (x + y) + z = x + (y + z) ⇒ associative property of addition

false statements:

c) x - y = y - x   should be: x - y = - y + x

e) (x - y) - z = x - (y - z) should be: (x - y) - z = x - (y + z)
