∠ace is formed by two secants intersecting outside of a circle. if minor arc bd = 25°, minor arc ab = 115°, and minor arc de = 115°, what is the measure of ∠ace? a) 12.5° b) 40° c) 45° d) 52.5°

The measure of angle ACE = 40° ⇒ answer (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain some information

- A secant is a line that intersects a circle in exactly two points.

- When two secants, intersect each other outside a circle,

 then the measure of the angle formed is one-half the positive

 difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

* Now the two secants AB and ED intersect each other outside

 the circle at point C and formed angle ACE

- Angle ACE intercepted by two minor arcs. arc BD and arc AE

- The measure of angle ACE is one-half the positive difference

  of the arcs BD and AE

* Lets calculate the measures of the arcs to find the measure

 of the angle

∵ The measure of minor arc AB = 115°

∵ The measure of minor arc BD = 25°

∵ The measure of minor arc DE = 115°

∵ The measure of the circle is 360°

∴ The measure of arc AE = 360 - (115 + 25 + 115) = 360 - 255 = 105°

* Now we can find the measure of angle ACE

∵ m∠ACE = (1/2)(measure of arc AE - measure of arc BD)

∴ m∠ACE = (1/2)(105 - 25) = (1/2)(80) = 40°

* The measure of angle ACE = 40°

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%
