Question

Quadrilateral STRW is inscribed inside a circle as shown below. Write a proof showing that angles T and R are supplementary.

Circle Q is shown with an inscribed quadrilateral labeled RSTW.

Answer 1

@peachpi @NoelGreco @mathmath333

Answer 2

It requires you use the inscribed angle theorem (the measure of an inscribed andgle is 1/2 the measure of its intercepted arc. The use the whole is the sum of its parts, etc.

Answer 3

So that's what i would put in the answer box?

Answer 4

I guess so

Answer 5

But how does that prove they're supplementary?

Answer 6

@NoelGreco please explain, i'm terrible at proofs and at math in general, and i'm pretty sure just that theorem won't cut it for the right answer

Answer 7

The only way to get better at proofs is to do a BUNCH of them. You can only do them if you're totally conversant with the associated . I suggest you sit down and memorize all the theorems regarding circles, angles and chords that have been presented.

Even if I didn't have to walk the dog Icouldn't just type out the answer.

Good luck: math IS difficult, but if you put in the needed time it's totally understandable.

Answer 8

I understand this @NoelGreco , but how does this help me with the answer? I would just like to know the answer/steps to getting the answer in full sentences and dumbed down so i can understand it, you could be a really big helping factor just by this ya know

Answer 9

And if i'm bad at doing proofs, you explaining the proof needed in order to explain this answer right now could help a ton

Answer 10

Ok anyways thanks for the help
