Question

If m RQ = 118°,
then T = how many degrees
S = how many degrees

Answer 1

t = 1/2mRQ
s = t

Answer 2

how can line segment RQ be 118deg, it has to be some angle....

Answer 3

I'm sure that she is referring to arc RQ = 118 degrees

Answer 4

t = 1/2mRQ = 1/2 (118) = 59 degrees
s = t = 59 degrees

Answer 5

ok.....

Answer 6

how did you solve that

Answer 7

First of all, is RQ an arc or a line segment? Do you know what an arc is?

Answer 8

According to your picture, RQ is an arc.

Answer 9

Secondly, angle t and angle s both cut arc RQ

Answer 10

Third, if an angle is on the circle and cuts an arc on the circle, the measure of the angle will always be half the measure of the arc.

Answer 11

You were given the measure of the arc RQ, and according to the rules of geometry, when the angle that cuts the arc is on the circle, it will be exactly half the arc measure.
