Quadrilateral OPQR is inscribed in circle N, as shown below. Which of the following could be used to calculate the measure of ∠QRO? m∠QPO + (x + 16)° + (6x − 4)° = 360° m∠QPO = (x + 16)° + (6x − 4)° m∠QPO + (2x + 16)° = 180° m∠QPO = (6x − 4)° + (2x + 16)°

Do you see how angle QPO makes the arc ORC which is about half the circle and how angle QRO makes the arc OPC which makes the rest of the circle so since the entire circle is 360 degrees, that means the arcs both add up to 360 but here we have two inscribed angles (QPO and QRO) and do you remember how inscribed angle = 1/2 * arc so that means the two angles have to add up to be HALF of 360
|dw:1618339365462:dw| and remember that angle QRO is 2x + 16

Well, just do what AZ said `so that means the two angles have to add up to be HALF of 360` two angles referring to angle R and angle P So angle QRO + angle OPQ = 180, since 180 is half of 360 We also have QRO so, which choice is it
I assume its the only option with 180 degrees in it?
So third
Ye, I think that too
You got it :)
