A doctor wants to determine if a new medication for cholesterol is more effective than the previous medication. The doctor informs his patients of the new medication and asks if they want to participate in a study. Patients who are currently taking medication for cholesterol are randomly selected and given the new medication. After two months, the patients’ cholesterol levels are checked.

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have

we know that

1) the inscribed angle measures half of the arc it comprises.

so

m∠dgf= > expression

2) the opposite angles in an inscribed quadrilateral are supplementary angles

so

m∠dgf=

m∠dgf=°

substitute in the expression to find the value of arc ef

therefore

the answer is

the measure of the arc ef is
