What is the word to describe a device that does the configuration of a system?

Q. I thought something like configurator or configurer might be right, but on browsing through dictionary.com. m-w.com and cambridge dictionary, I found that they didn't exist :(
I'm actually doing a software design, and using the right terminology would be nice.. so any help would be appreciated.

A. A systems analysis positioner. You have a system you need to analyze to position it properly for maximum configuration and efficiency.

Good Ol' Mom sez: Operating System.

What process is used to replicate a hard drive to a new computer?
Q. When might you use this process, and what are some examples of software designed to perfrom it?

A. You'd want to use a "bit for bit" copy where you not only copy the files, but the structure of the system and its parts as well.

My dad does a lot of hard drive swapping in his computers and has had great success with Altiris Drive Image

Looks like Symantec bought them up. Symantec Ghost is another solid product for drive imaging. I used it with Windows 95 and 98.

What is the most recommended PDA for a nurse?
Q. I am a nurse planning to purchase a PDA to aid me in my profession. I would like it to be compatible with various softwares designed to aid nurses at work (drug guide, nursing diagnoses, etc..). I also would like it to work efficiently and be hassle-free, since most nurses really hate to be wasting time resetting it over and over. And lastly, I hope it has a generous memory to put mp3 files for me to listen to during breaks. I have been wrecking my head browsing over the internet for advice, but I think a nurse or someone in the medical profession can give me the best advice. thanks in advance!
... oh, and it has to be the latest model available, if that's possible... :)

A. My father is a doctor and I have some expertise in this area (see my blog at http://mlearning.edublogs.org). You should look for a PDA that does not have a slideout keyboard, and a minimum number of hard-key buttons. Minimising moving parts like this reduces the number of crevices that can potentially become contaminated with infectious substances, if you're using the device in the course of your work, and also simplifies cleaning of the device.

I'd recommend a Windows Mobile device, since Palm is rumoured to be currently undergoing corporate transition and software for its OS may be discontinued if PalmOS is not supported in future. Also, most of the medical PDA software out there is supported by the Windows Mobile operating system.

With those considerations, I would normally have recommended a Dell Axim x51v . The Dell x50v and x51v PDAs have the best screen (480x640px gorgeousness!) and processor speed (624 MHz) I've yet experienced in a PDA. While they don't have a massive amount of internal memory, they accept both SD and CompactFlash cards, and that means you could for example, add a 4GB CF card for your medical applications and records, as well as a 4GB SD card for your music - that would be 8GB in total, plus the 128MB on-board storage - a massive amount of memory for a PDA. I believe there are even larger memory cards in both formats available, if you're willing to put up the dollars. :)

The only reason I might not fully endorse the x51v is that Dell won't be making any more PDAs after the x51v; however, it will continue to support its existing models.

Can anyone tell me the difference between Autodesk Revit Architecture and Autodesk VIZ?
Q. My purpose is to find a software to draw some Architectural concepts and have some rendering as output. Wich one of the above is suitable for me? Easiness is very important, due to the fact I'm not an Architect. Any other software for my goals?

A. First, Revit is not an AutoCAD based product as the previous answer suggested. It is owned by Autodesk which makes AutoCAD, but it's in no way based on AutoCAD, infact it was designed as an alternative program to AutoCAD or AutoCAD Architecture to design buildings.

Revit can both do building designs and decent rendering output. It can't do photo-realistic design work, but more than good enough renderings to get your design intent across.

That being said... to use Revit correctly you really need to understand how a building goes together. Have you thought about the free download, SketchUp? It can do some interesting things and many architects use it to define the initial design of their structures before moving into construction documentation.

What is a good graphic design software to use to design logos and other artwork?

Q. What is a good graphic design software to use to design logos and other artwork?

What is the skill level needed to use it? Ease of use?

Windows or Mac?

Where can I get it at? How much? Student rates?

A. http://store1.adobe.com/


If you are really wanting something that is creative and unique you will need professional design software. Ease of use depends upon your other software knowledge. The more programs you know the easier it is to learn new ones.

Adobe Illustrator is the best with some time learning the tools.
But check out all of the Adobe design software and see what seems to click for you. Check out EBay prices and yes, they give student and teacher discounts at most stores that sell software. Best Buy etc.

You can buy it in Wind. or Mac.

Best of luck

Why couldn't I receive a DXF file into my AutoCAD?

Q. After downloading a DXF file into my computer, I tried to open the file through my AutoCAD program, version 2002. CAD gave me an invalid message. Whatâs probably stopping me from opening this DXF into DWG extension?

A. DWG and DXF formats follow this list (from old to new)

False advertisements from streaming video company?
Q. Hello,

We started a small entertainment website which contains non-copyrighted movies and TV Shows. Since we had a really big archive we decided to go with one of the video streaming companies which encodes the video and manages the file and gives us bandwidth. Before signing the contract they gave us many promises and false advertising, such as video advertising for our medias, great security so no one could download the videos and so on. another offer they gave us was 6 month of free service and then 2 years contract after that. After signing the papers and start working with them, our account manager was always late with answering our questions and none of promises was delivered to us. Not only we were losing money but our videos were getting downloaded very easily and yet we were getting answer from our account manager and their support about once a week. It was continued so we had to pay everything out of our pocket and we were almost bankrupted. Right now we completely changed our direction and we don't work the same way or in fact we don't work with any streaming companies because we don't have the money after all the money we lost. After these 6 month they told us that they can't do anything about the security of our movies and they gave an options which was very expensive for us by that time, and they say they don't work with the advertising company they promised us anymore. They were other false promises as well but these two were the ones did hit us the most. So we told them give us a time to move our files from their servers because we can't do this anymore and they told us they understand and they support us. Now after like 6 month they sent us a a bill of $60,000 out of no where and their lawyer (I think its a collection agency) keeps calling us. My question is what are my options. The thing is they don't have my SS# or my CC#. All they have is my signature on a contract. Do I have to take this $60,000 bill seriously? or should I fight back? The problem is honestly we don't have anymore money to hire a lawyer and fight back.

The only problem is their promises were verbal and this whole contract was based on trust.

I would appreciate if anyone could help.

A. Yikes, the solution will sting. You'll just have to jump ship and know better than to enter shady agreements the next time you initiate a campaign. Some publishing options, like TrueView video ads, are legit, especially if you hire a company which lays out the terms of service in black and white. There are plenty of online companies out there transparent enough to provide efficient service, such as audiencetv.net. Be more prudent next time and do your legwork before you invest money in an agreement.

How to find angles in a right triangle?

Q. I need help finding the two acute angles of a right triangle. Well actually i need the formula. I'm having trouble tracking it down on the webz. I know the length of the 3 sides and just need to find the angles. It has something to do with arctangent i think. I'm bad at math. Anyway any help would be awesome.

A. SOHCAHTOA

Sin = Opposite / Hypotoneuse
Cosine = Adjacent / Hypotoneuse
Tangent = Opposite / Adjacent

So if you pick the angle you want, take the length OPPOSITE the angle and the length ADJACENT to the angle, divide the opposite by the adjacent that gives you the ratio. Then take the ark tan of that ratio that will give you the angle.

Since it's a right angled triangle one of the other angles must be 90 degrees.

The remaining angle will be 90 degrees - the angle you calculated.

If you only had two sides and not the third you could use the arc sin or arc cos or arc tan depending on which two lengths you knew and which angle you wanted to find.

What are tips for solving angles in circles that are inscribed or central angles?
Q. Basically, I just need tips for solving angles in circles that are inscribed or central angles (yes, bad wording.) I just kinda miss the "big" picture sometimes. I get the concepts of the theorems, but actually finding the angles is a pretty big challenge for me sometimes.

A. You can go on:
http://www.mathwarehouse.com/geometry/circle/inscribed-angle.html
Here are my tips that I use:
Formula for inscribed angle
If you know the length of the minor arc and radius, the inscribed angle is:

where:
L is the length of the minor (shortest) arc AB
R is the radius of the circle
Ï is Pi, approximately 3.142

Arcs and Chords
The two points A and B can be isolated points, or they could be the end points of an arc or chord. When they are the end points of an arc, the angle is sometimes called the peripheral angle of the arc.
Central Angle
A similar concept is the central angle. This is the angle subtended at the center of the circle by the two given points.

The central angle is always twice the inscribed angle. Relationship to Thales' Theorem
Refer to the above figure. If the two points A,B form a diameter of the circle, the inscribed angle will be 90°, which is Thales' Theorem. You can verify this yourself by solving the formula above using an arc length of half the circumference of the circle.
You can also move the points A or B above until the inscribed angle is exactly 90°. You will see that the points A and B are then diametrically opposite each other.

Hope I helped!

Geometry - How to find an interior angle in a circle?
Q. On my homework there is a diagram of a circle with and angle inside coming off the center of the circle. The arc of that angle is 96 degrees. How would I find the angle measurement?

A. if the angle is in radians, and the radius is 1 unit then the subtended arc IS the same as the central angle (in radians )
.......96° is an unusual way to measure an arc length..its usually a length, like 3.4 units..... but that means the central angle is also 96°

Any ideas for a creative presentation for a school project?

Q. I need to design a pillar for a Roman emperor in Western Civ. I can use absolutely anything to do this, like online design software, or an actual, physical structure. I'd love some ideas on how I can creatively present this pillar to the class. I was trying to find some 3D design software to use, but I haven't found any free ones yet. So any ideas are appreciated!

A. I think PowerPoint is the best way to communicate this but what may be unique is to include music from each of your time periods you're going to discuss (for example, the number one song when you were born, then music you listened to as a child, then maybe music during your pre-teen years, your high school years and finally what you like now. You could also include photos of yourself from each of these periods if you have them or at least photos of other things from each period like magazine covers, or cars, fashions, tv shows or movies that were popular, etc)

I am located in Orlando Florida. Will like salepeople all over the USA under districts

A. Try posting your ad on CraigsList - http://www.craigslist.org/ you may find some folks willing to work on commission-only basis. I should warn you, however, that you will probably not find "expert" salespeople willing to work that way... especially for a start-up.

Your other option is to hire college kids looking to earn some cash in their free time. They may be less dependent on a steady income stream and be therefore more willing to work for commissions.

Hope this helps!

How much funds do i have to show for canadian study permit?
Q. Under the requirement where is says I need to show proof of funds, exactly how much do i have to show? For one year of tuition and expenses or all 3 years? And does this all have to be in cash? Can I show one year's worth of cash and a supporting steady income? And can the funds be shown in my aunt's account with documentation with her intent to support me financially?

A. it depend on your course as ...i came to canada on student visa it was a 3 yr diploma i showed $100,000 CAD......but make sure cuz u'll be on student visa so your fee would be 11000$-12000$ a year(in 3 yr diploma)..ie 33-36000$..plus your living expenses like 400-500 rent..50-70$ cell phone bill/month.....food......as you won't have a driving lic so a monthly bus pass 50-60$ approx....it means your monthly expense including everything would be around 650-700$ ie say 700$/month=700*12=8400$/year....total
tuition fee 11000-12000$/year
living expense 8400$/year
so u need to show your annual income in your home country including your expenses in canada....because if u show less annual income..and your canadian expenses are more than they gonna say if your expense in canada are more how will your family support themselves backhome....and ya you can show your aunt's money, she just need to sign a affidavit that she is sponsoring your expenses..or you can get a study loan....but if your course is 1 or 2 yrs then you can show less .....and canadian embassy they don't consider property or gold ....cuz some people show property/land or gold...but its not considered good...only good things is show liquid money..ie bank deposit.....some kind of investment in banks...no shares(stock market)..good luck

Is there a less expensive brush as good as the Furminator?
Q. I LOVE the Furminator! Unfortunately I keep borrowing my friends, because I have a hard time spending $60 for a cat brush. Are there any generic brands that have the same incredible results? Or to I need to fork over the cash?

And people, if you are going to give me a hard time and are going to be rude. Don't bother answering.
I live in Canada. I'd buy it from the US, but after I add duty and shipping, it's not worth it.

A. Hi!
I am also Canadian (from Quebec) and got the real FURminator (medium size) from Ebay.ca for $23.00 CAD including shipping - and from a Canadian seller to boot ! Check it out, it's worth a look!
BTW I use mine for my bluepoint ragdoll cat - he's such a beautiful cat but a also a horrible shedder - the FURminator helps a lot, I'm glad I bought it. Good luck!

I need to find a CAD Application?
Q. I need a free CAD application that is not a trial, I am okay with it if is very cheap. I need it to use Orthographic Projection. I run VMware Fusion 2, so the application can be Windows XP or Mac OS X Leopard, Thanks!

A. progeCAD is probably the best value for any real 2D CAD design, works a lot like AutoCAD (edit DWG, AutoCAD commands, AutoLISP, rendering) but only costs few hundred dollars:
http://www.caddit.net/auto-cad/AutoCAD.php

If you are looking at a stronger 3D CAD I would easily suggest Alibre - especially when they are running a price promo which they often do:
http://www.caddit.net/cad-cam-software/alibre.php

Since CAD is a more technical software I would strongly suggest support be a considering factor in the entire picture.

Does anyone know where I can get some AutoCad Release 14 or higher software CHEAP?
Q.

A. Nope.

Autodesk don't sell Autocad cheap. And they make sure no one else does. Do you need flow blown Autocad?

If you aren't going to be working in 3D then Autocad LT does everything in 2D that Autocad can.
You can also use LT to view 3D models just not create them.

It's also significantly cheaper.

Another option is upgrade offers.

Autodesk and it's resellers offer upgrade discounts to encourage users to move to the newest version. This is only an option if you already have an old version. And they aren't always available. Best getting on the phone to a local reseller to see.

Finally do you really need Autocad?

There are DWG compatible CAD programs available that work in an Autocad like fashion and cost little.

I use Autocad and Inventor professionally so can't speak to the quality of these alternative programs.

Saying that it's got to be worth a trial download.

What softwares apart from Games need a good graphic card like nvidia?
Q. Do 3D design softwares leverage the existence of a graphic processor? or is it majorly for the games?

A. They do in some cases. Memory is usually a bigger deal with things like that though; the GPU is mostly used for rendering. I mean technically everything uses it to some extent, but the biggest thing is rendering. Unless you get into programming things very very heavy in mathematics (... like rendering I guess), then you might use it for efficiency because your GPU likely has hundreds of cores to run the processes across.

What business card software or website saves your design individually?

A. As per my recommendation http://www.Bizcardsoftware.com would be great for you for easy printing options in different formats. However for better guidance you should contact their Support at helpdesk@bizcardsoftware.com or at +1-800-405-7125 (Toll Free) 1-585-672-5458 (Outside of the US or Canada, please dial 001-585-672-5458)

A. It depends on how the product is shipped.

If its via standard USPS (United States Postal Service), then Canada Post will charge you when you collect the parcel and tack on an additional $5 handling fee.

Some courier companies will have a customs broker pay the CRA on your behalf. They will then invoice you for a customs brokerage fee, and the duty.

How do you calculate the area and perimeter of a circle?

Q. I forgot the formula. If anyone has the correct formulas for area and perimeter please answer.

A. The area of a circle is:
(pi)(r)^2

Circumference (the "perimeter" of a circle) is:
2(pi)(r)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle#Length_of_circumference

How do i find the arc length of the following function?
Q. Polar Function
r=a*sin(theta) where a>0

Formula for finding arc length of polar function
L=int( sqrt( f(theta)^2 + f '(theta)^2), theta, alpha, beta) where alpha<=theta<=beta

Answer is a*pi

How do i solve this problem? I have no clue how to find a*pi as the answer.

A. The graph of r = asinÎ is a circle of radius a/2 centered at (0, a/2). The curve is traversed exactly once by allowing 0 ⤠Π< Ï. (Note that the arclength is the circumference 2Ï(a/2) = aÏ.)

f ² (Î) = a²sin²Πand [f '(Î)]² = a² cos²Î.

So â(r² + (dr/dÎ)²) = â[a²(sin²Π+ cos²Î)] = â(a²) = |a|. Since a > 0, the integrand is just a.

So your arclength is

Ï
â« a dÎ = aÏ.
0

This is about as nice an arclength problem as you can ever expect to see.

How do you find the area of a circle with the middle as square shape?
Q. Ok, so you have to find the area of the shaded shape which is the circle.The circle has a radius of 4cm and the squares' (which is in the middle of the circle) length is 4x4. Please help me, It's due for Monday.

A. Use the formula Ïr^2 to find the circle.

Ï x (4)^2 = 50.27

The area of the square can be found by 4 x 4 = 16

subtract both of them to find the shaded area.

50.27 - 16 = 34.27

The angular difference between the leading radial and the required radial should be increased as the :?

Q. The angular difference between the leading radial and the required radial should be increased as the
a- Intercepting angle increase and the A/C rate of turn decrease
b- Intercepting angle decrease and the A/C rate of turn decrease
c- Intercepting angle decrease and the A/C rate of turn increase
please explain with the answer .

A. B. Because it will now take a higher ( sharper ) angle to intercept the required radial.

What is the length of an arc intercepted by a central angle 95degrees in a circle whose radius is 12m?
Q. What is the length of an arc intercepted by a central angle 95degrees in a circle whose radius is 12m?


Please help me, this is for my Math Exit examination review..it's been a while so I have forgotten about some of these topics :)

A. Think of the length of the arc as a fraction of a circle's circumference. A circle's circumference covers an angle of 360 degrees, so the arc will cover (angle / 360degrees) of that circumference. Circumference is defined as pi times the diameter, or pi times 2x the radius.

arclength = (95 / 360) * pi * (12*2) = 19pi / 3 meters.

find the length of the arc intercepted by a central angle?
Q. A circle has a radius of 8 m. Find the length s of the arc intercepted by a central angle of 157 degrees.
Do not round any intermediate computations, and round your answer to the nearest tenth.

A. 2*8*pi*157/360 = 21.921 so 21.9

to check to see if it's reasonable, radius=8 so diameter = 16 so circumference = 3*16+ = 48+

half of that is 24+ if the central angle was 180.
157 is less than 180 so the arc should be less than 24.
22 seems about right.

How do I do takeoffs in Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D 2008?

Q. I am needing to perform takeoffs from a DWG file. There are no elevations assigned to the contour lines, it is 2D. Here, I will need to assign elevations to the contour lines. Afterwards, I will need to perform a volume calculation to determine the earth excavation and borrow quantities.

In addition, I am also needing to determine the area of sections of pavement that are getting varying thicknesses of material. Here, I will need to determine the area of the pavement AND apply a proposed surface offset to adjust the earthwork quantities in order to take these material thicknesses into account.

It would also be nice if I could determine the length of a line, which would be helpful in finding the length of items such as curb and gutter, silt fence, etc.

Any thoughts on this?

A. To find the length of the line simply highlight the line in question and view its properties, one of which is length. Or, use the "di" command to measure distance. As for the volumes, you have to first set up a surface. This is done using terrain model explorer in land desktop, and I believe civil 3D is similar. Judging by your questions you will need to have someone help you with creating surfaces. It would be much too complicated to explain here. Hope that gets you started.

How do you calculate cut and fill values by using cad programs.?
Q. I am using NETCAT program. and calculating the values by cross sections method but I want to learn another methods especially by autocad to control the values...
canip

A. I use AutoCAD Civil 3D and it's fairly simple. If you have two surfaces (for instance, one surface might be the existing ground surface of a particular plot of land and the other surface is a dam of a lake or something like that), you can get CAD to compute the volume of the dam. Basically CAD subtracts the existing ground surface from the dam surface and gives you the cubic yardage. It's a little more complicated to build the dam's surface, but once it's built, it's just a click of a button to get the fill value.

how can a geodetic engineering product help me as an accountant?
Q. my course is accountancy, but we have a professor in a general education course, a geodetic engineer, who gave us an assignment. he wants us to make a write-up about how a GE product could help us in our profession directly or indirectly.. i don't know much about GE and how it can be related to accountancy so i hope you can help me.. thanks..

A. A Geodetic Engineer works on things to do with the location of points on the earth's surface, and the gravity of the earth. This involves collecting data about the points on the earth's surface to define it, and constructing charts and other engineering studies from that, so may be used in surveying, hydrology etc. This is especially associated with Civil Engineering, and Mining and surveying. Consider dams, roads, railways, buildings, property locations, mining surveys, mines. Almost everything constructed on the land needs this sort of information. And of course it is related to maps. Survey reference or datum points (trig points) are used as references for measurements to points on the map, so that it becomes possible to locate points accurately from a map.

Somewhere in all of this is GPS (satellite) navigation. As the earth is not a truly round ball, there needs to be a correction for the true shape of the earth to define a position on the earth's surface (apart from the hills and valleys), and this is a geodetic model, presumably referring the measurements to mean sea level at that location. This allows the GPS position to be located on a map using the same geodetic model, and gives us a realistic altitude. Maps are 2D representations of the 3d earth's shape, so they also rely on particular geodetic models like WGS84 used in some parts of the world, and then are converted through a projection using a co-ordinate system..

The facebook page linked below has a long description that should clear up what Geodetic Engineering means. Look down to "Don In RA ". GIS is a Graphical Information System, a database, with attributes or information associated with geographical points. Once again, a GPS navigator has something along this line when you look for the nearest filling station, motel etc.

His key fields list is here..
1. Property Surveys
2. Construction Surveys
3. Hydrographic Surveys
4. GIS
5. Project Management/Land Administration
6. Aerial/Remote Sensing/Photogrammetry
7. Mapping/Cartography
8. Land Forensic/Law
9. Land/Property Valuation

So hopefully from all this you are starting to see how it helps an accountant in daily life and the workplace. None of the things taken for granted like buildings, transport, cities, water supplies, power supplies, and so on could be done without some attempt at geodetics behind it. Think of an Egyptian setting out to build the Pyramids - even then it was still a part of it.

Why everything is expensive in Canada compared to the US?

Q. Even though CAD is higher than USD, few exmaples:
1 gallon of Milk costs 2USD and 5 CAD
1 gallon of gasoline costs 4USD and 6 CAD
A pack of 18 Eggs costs less than 2USD and more than 3CAD

WE PAY MORE TAXES, OUR SALARIES ARE LOWER THAN US, AND EVERYTHING IS EXPENSIVE COMPARED TO US.

As for the healthcare, I prefer the american system where the employers cover their employees.

A. Also the US has 10 times the population, which makes for cheaper production due to "economies of scale".

How to repair a Ni-Cad battery pack?
Q. I have don it before but forgot how to find the bad one. I have a battery pack that will not charge. I hooked the charger to it and found one battery that I had continunity through it without droping any voltage I think it's the one.I want to take a battery out of another bad pack and replace it. Is there any way of checking them, ( individually) with a Multimeter, or do I need to check like I did the other?

A. I would never try to repair a battery pack. Just buy a new one.

What is the best free 3D CAD Design Software for a mechanical student?
Q. What is the best free 3D CAD Design Software for a mechanical student to be installed and learned?

A. Actually "Autodesk Inventor" and "Solidworks2008" are the most best two and the most known, and easiest to use as well.

I use Autodesk Inventor v.11, it is very effecient, easy interface, and simple to draw and produce layouts .. etc. I 've learned Autodesk Inventor in only 2 weeks, and then I did so many projects with this software. it 's really nice and simple.

Students share this program (and many other programes) on torrents, you can download the free "torrent prgram" (2Mb) from www.utorrent.com and follow the instructions and you will find everything simple.

Then download the CAD progrma using the torrent file downloaded from any of the sharing websites.

Here are the links for the torrent files that will allow you to download the prog.

Autodesk Inventor :

http://rapidshare.com/files/151414986/__Demonoid.com__-Inventor_11__autodesk__crack_5322825.0188.torrent.html


Solid works :

Both programes have Tutorials and Help files, which is really simple and easy to learn from. and in short time. If you are new to torrents then you will probably need help, just messege me.

Good Luck

A grey beetle looking bug, huge, with pinchers?

Q. I was dragging a wood pallet across the yard this morning when I noticed two of these big bulbous bugs on the pallets underside...they didn't move. They were a flat mud grey, the size of a plum, and had little pinchers. I am facinated and would like to observe them more but I don't know if they will hurt me. I didn't notice any wings. Anyone know about this bug or where I can see a photo of it online?

A. I've got a kid going into college in entymology, his first answer might be to suggest a rhinoceros beetle, going by the color and size you mention (a plum? Really? You must get small plums) and they're pretty slow and can't really hurt you - but yes, they could give you a pinch if you're foolish. But I know of a handy website that might help you out:

How do I find the measure of the middle arc in a square?

Q. I know that the picture is not a perfect square so I just put a 7 on the sides to show you that they are the same. How do I find the measure of the arc from point A to point B?
(take the space off in between (filer. jpg)(shack. us)
img59.imageshack. us/img59/411/filer. jpg

A. add, then subtract difference

How do i figure out the measure of a minor arc?
Q. Kathy and Tami are at point A on a circular track that has a radius of 150 feet. They run counterclockwise along the track from A to S, a distance of 247 feet. Find the measure of minor arc AS.

Which formula do i use?
the measure of minor arc AS has to be in degree.

A. Find the circumference, using the radius of 150.
Then subtract the measure of the major arc, which may or may not be the 247 feet. If it's over half of the circumference, it's the major arc. if it's less than half, its the minor arc. If 247 is the major arc, subtract it from the circumference to get the minor arc.

How do i solve for the arcs of a circle when i only have an angle formed by two tangents?
Q. I have a circle where angle d is formed by 2 tangents and is 110 degrees. It is asking me to find the measures of the arcs and i tried using x and 360-x but i keep ending up with 220=360. What am i doing wrong.

A. A line from the point of tangency to the center of the circle forms a 90° angle with the tangent line. When two tangents intersect a line from their vertex to the center of the circle bisects the vertex angle. So now you have two triangles with angles of 90°, 55°, and 35°(which is the central angle). So the arc included between the two points of tangency is 2(35°) = 70°
