Directrix (directrix):

Which inscribed angle cuts off arc ST?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

TQS?

Directrix (directrix):

Look at this diagram (attached).

Directrix (directrix):

Angle Q cuts off arc ST. Angle Q is an inscribed angle. So what is the measure of arc ST?

Directrix (directrix):

@stupidinmath The inscribed angle is half its arc. So, the arc is twice the angle measure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm kinda confused on which to choose :|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

36..?

Directrix (directrix):

Yes, 36 for arc ST.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yesss c:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for #6, is <TRS also 18?

Directrix (directrix):

Look at angle P. It is an angle formed by two secant segment from a point outside the circle. See the attachment for its formula.

Directrix (directrix):

m<P = 1/2* ( m arc QR - m arc ST) 24 = 1/2 * (m arc QR - 36) 48 = m arc QR - 36 48 + 36 = m arc QR M arc QR = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

48

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is my #2 wrong?

Directrix (directrix):

Yes, it is not correct. Try again. 48 + 36 = m arc QR

OpenStudy (anonymous):

84.. I see

Directrix (directrix):

Look at #4.

Directrix (directrix):

RT is a diameter. So, arc RQT is a semi-circle. Agree?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

Directrix (directrix):

What is the measure of a semi-circle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

180

Directrix (directrix):

So, arc QR is 84 of that 180. So, what is the other part that would be the measure of arc QT?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

36? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mea... 96

Directrix (directrix):

I got 96. 180 - 84 = 96

OpenStudy (anonymous):

typo

Directrix (directrix):

So, here is what we have so far.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep..

Directrix (directrix):

Let's do #5 <PSQ.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is my #5 correct

Directrix (directrix):

Did you get 180 - 24 - 18 = 138

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes :) triangle sum t.

Directrix (directrix):

#6 <TRS is an inscribed angle and has measure half of arc TS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

18. yayy :)

Directrix (directrix):

Now, we have to go back to # 3. < SUR

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, alright

Directrix (directrix):

It is an angle formed by two chords intersecting inside the circle. I'll attach the theorem for it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

84+36 = 120

Directrix (directrix):

1/2 * (84 + 36) = m< RUQ which is what?

Directrix (directrix):

120 is not correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

<RUQ = 60

Directrix (directrix):

Okay. And, the angle we want, < SUR is the supplement of <RUQ with measure 60, so 180 - 60 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is 120 :|

Directrix (directrix):

Yes. I'm post the summary.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, got it, thanks (:

Directrix (directrix):

Alrighty.
