  a = 57.5

  b = 90

  c = 65

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of an inscribed angle is half that of the arc it intercepts. The angle at 'a' intercepts an arc of 115°, so its measure is (115/2)° = 57.5°

__

The inscribed angle at 'b' is a semicircle, 180°, so the measure of 'b' is (180/2)° = 90°.

__

The arc 'c' is the remainder of a semicircle after 115° have been taken away. Its measure is 180° -115° = 65°.

  (a, b, c) = (57.5, 90, 65)

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3

the system of inequalities is
