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.

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?

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

<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 (:
