    Circles Radians
Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating angles in a geometric problem involving radian circles. Participants explore the relationship between angles DAB and DAC, concluding they are equal. By defining angle DAB as "a," they derive a formula that leads to the calculation of angle a as pi - 1.1, resulting in approximately 2.04. The congruence of the triangles formed by points D, A, B, and C is confirmed, reinforcing that corresponding angles must also be congruent. The conversation emphasizes finding a simpler method for angle calculations in this context.

for part b I'm not sure how to do it

any hints on how to do it? I've tried using sine rule etc but I'm just guessing, and I'm pretty sure there is a more simple method.

Right well I got this, I'm not sure if its right. DAB and DAC are equal so let's call DAB "a", 2pi = 2.2 + 2a so 2pi - 2.2 / 2 = a which is pi - 1.1 = 2.04?
 


That's right, and I believe your math is correct too.

Since all three sides of the triangles are congruent:
\overline{DB}\cong\overline{DC} given
\overline{BA}\cong\overline{AC} because they are the same length
\overline{AD}\cong\overline{AD} trivial, they share a common line
Then the corresponding angles in the triangles must also be congruent.
