How many degrees is a whole circle?
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?
let me see, hold on
subtract 290 from 360
Yes, that is right. What do you get? That number will be the angle number.
70, thank you
Arc RQ is 70 degrees. But what is measure of the ‘inscribed’ angle?
osht
inscribed angle would be what exactly?
Do you know the formula
not off the top of my head, no
The measure of the inscribed angle is one half of the measure of the arc
so 35?
Correct
so would I add 35 and 70??
or is it 35..??
Well, what are we looking for?
the measure of <ROQ
Which is the inscribed angle of what arc ?
RQ?
So if we solve for the inscribed angle of RQ, by multiplying it by 1/2...
im kind of confused actually on this part
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).
okay so half of 35 would be 17.5
Measure of Arc RQ is 70
yes and ROQ is 35 right?
360 - 290 = arc RQ
Yes
okay, so is 35 the answer then?
It’s the angle of ROQ
yea
what else needs to be done cause idk
Nothing
so 35 would be the answer?
You did it correctly. Until you started dividing by 2 again (:
oh XD okay
geez, im just all over the place when it comes to numbers lol
so that ones done XD, next one?
Sure
thanks :)
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.
