Refer to the figure to complete the following problem. Given: Tiangle RST is circumscribed about circle A. What is the measure of angle S ? a. 0.5 acr XQ minus arc XPQ b. angle R + angle T c. 0.5 (arc XPQ - arc XQ)
@love_jessika15 If a triangle is circumscribed about a circle, the sides of the triangle are tangent to the circle.
The angle at point S is formed by the intersection of two tangents to the circle from a point outside the circle.
To get its measure, use the formula for that ilk of angle.
The attached diagram and more information for study can be found at the Math Warehouse. http://www.mathwarehouse.com/geometry/circle/tangents-secants-arcs-angles.php
