bm717:

How many degrees is a whole circle?

bm717:

Angle RSQ+ROQ=360, because all circles, no matter what size, is always 360 degrees. What do you think you should do to get the ROQ angle?

hardlyhuman:

let me see, hold on

hardlyhuman:

subtract 290 from 360

bm717:

Yes, that is right. What do you get? That number will be the angle number.

hardlyhuman:

70, thank you

Shadow:

Arc RQ is 70 degrees. But what is measure of the ‘inscribed’ angle?

bm717:

osht

hardlyhuman:

inscribed angle would be what exactly?

Shadow:

Do you know the formula

hardlyhuman:

not off the top of my head, no

Shadow:

The measure of the inscribed angle is one half of the measure of the arc

hardlyhuman:

so 35?

Shadow:

Correct

hardlyhuman:

so would I add 35 and 70??

hardlyhuman:

or is it 35..??

Shadow:

Well, what are we looking for?

hardlyhuman:

the measure of <ROQ

Shadow:

Which is the inscribed angle of what arc ?

hardlyhuman:

RQ?

Shadow:

So if we solve for the inscribed angle of RQ, by multiplying it by 1/2...

hardlyhuman:

im kind of confused actually on this part

Shadow:

So Sarah helped you solve for arc RQ. You do that by subtracting 290 from 360. This gives you arc RQ. However, they want the inscribed angle of RQ, which is angle ROQ. We obtain it by dividing the value of arc RQ by 2 ( or multiplying it by 1/2, same thing).

hardlyhuman:

okay so half of 35 would be 17.5

Shadow:

Measure of Arc RQ is 70

hardlyhuman:

yes and ROQ is 35 right?

Shadow:

360 - 290 = arc RQ

Shadow:

Yes

hardlyhuman:

okay, so is 35 the answer then?

Shadow:

It’s the angle of ROQ

hardlyhuman:

yea

hardlyhuman:

what else needs to be done cause idk

Shadow:

Nothing

hardlyhuman:

so 35 would be the answer?

Shadow:

You did it correctly. Until you started dividing by 2 again (:

hardlyhuman:

oh XD okay

hardlyhuman:

geez, im just all over the place when it comes to numbers lol

hardlyhuman:

so that ones done XD, next one?

Shadow:

Sure

hardlyhuman:

thanks :)

Shadow:

Correction: Since I answered this whilst on three hours of sleep Angle ROQ is not an inscribed angle, but a central angle. Arc RSQ makes up the majority of the circle, leaving just arc RQ. So we can obtain the value of Arc RQ by subtracting Arc RSQ from 360 360 - 290 = 70 A central angle is the same measure of the arc that it intercepts, so angle ROQ is 70 degrees, since the arc it intercepts is RQ and has a value of 70.
