Question

aaron is standing at point c, watching his friends on a ferris wheel. he knows that he is looking up at a 57° angle and the measure of arc bd is 80°. what is the measure of arc aed? °

Answer 1

Based on the information provided, it seems that Aaron is looking up at a 57° angle from point C, and the measure of arc BD is 80°. To find the measure of arc AED, we need to make some assumptions about the geometry involved.

Let's assume that A is the starting point of the Ferris wheel, D is the current position of Aaron's friends on the Ferris wheel, and E is the final position of Aaron's friends on the Ferris wheel.

Since Aaron is looking up at a 57° angle, we can infer that angle ACD is also 57° (since the line of sight from Aaron to his friends is perpendicular to the ground).

Now, let's consider the arc AED. We know that arcs BD and AED are supplementary angles because they form a straight line. Therefore, the measure of arc AED is:

Arc AED = 180° - Arc BD

Arc AED = 180° - 80°

Arc AED = 100°

So, the measure of arc AED is 100°.
