line touching circumference should make the angle of 90...
according to me 90-52=38 so CED =38/2 which is equals to 19...
so CDE=180 (90+19)= 71*2 =142...
thats all
the numbers make sense but why did you divide 38 by 2? wasn't 90-52 giving the value already? the line touching the edge forms the 90 and you just subtract 52? because that's what i did, i got the answer as 38 but ddnt divide further by 2 :/

s10 21 #17(c) i keep on getting the wrong answer! >.<
what rule do we use to find angle D? and the marking scheme says CED=19, how do you figure that out as well?
i tried filling up angles but i just cant figrue them out, i always have a problem with these type (the one at edges with no other nearby) is there any basic rule im missing?
now this was a good question
ignore the arc OE

okay,
shear factor formula and matrix?
stretch factor formula and matrix?

if you have f(x) = 2-x
and g(x) = 3x+4

will fg(x) = 2-(3x-4)
or will fg(x) = 3(2-x) - 4
???

confused.

haha i did read that, im so confused atm :D, ok how did you get the 19 why did you divide 38 by 2 dont you have to do something to the 52?
ugh just write them down in order as you solved it. pleaase :D
lol its the simple cyclic rule
the 1st one in the book
angle at centre subtended at centre is twice than that at circumference

A company makes solid chocolate eggs and their shapes are mathematically similar.
The diagram shows eggs of height 2 cm and 6 cm.
The mass of the small egg is 4 g.
Calculate the mass of the large egg.

I need help with this question. Is there some kind of formula for an eggshape or something?? Please help me and explain to me step by step.
