In circle P, the measure of ∠QPS is 15° and RQ is a diameter. Find the arc measures. m = ° m = ° m = °

Respuesta :

Answer:

120

60

180

Step-by-step explanation:

The measures of the arc are given by the angle subtended in the center of

the circle.

The correct responses are;

  • [tex]m\widehat {QT}[/tex] = 120°
  • [tex]m\widehat {RT}[/tex] = 60°
  • [tex]m\widehat {QRT}[/tex] = 180°

Reasons:

The given parameters are;

The center of circle P = Point P

∠QPS = 15°

The diameter of the circle = RQ

The radii = PS and PT

∠TPS = 105°

Required:

[tex]m\widehat {QT}[/tex]

Solution:

[tex]m\widehat {QT}[/tex] = ∠QPS + ∠TPS  by angle addition property

[tex]m\widehat {QT}[/tex] = 15° + 105° = 120°

[tex]m\widehat {QT}[/tex] = 120°

Required:

[tex]m\widehat {RT}[/tex]

Solution:

[tex]m\widehat {RT}[/tex] + ∠QPS + ∠TPS = 180° (The sum of angles on a straight line)

[tex]m\widehat {RT}[/tex] = 180° - (∠QPS + ∠TPS)

[tex]m\widehat {RT}[/tex] = 180° - (15° + 105°) = 60°

[tex]m\widehat {RT}[/tex] = 60°

Required:

[tex]m\widehat {QRT}[/tex]

[tex]m\widehat {QRT}[/tex] = Angle on a straight line (RQ = The diameter) = 180°

[tex]m\widehat {QRT}[/tex] = 180°
