Question

In circle O, RT and SU are diameters.

Answer 1

In circle O, RT and SU are diameters. mArc R V = mArc V U = 64°. Thus, option C is correct.

Given that:

mArc R V = mArc V U,

Angle S O R = 13 x degrees

Angle T O U = 15 x - 8 degrees

How to calculate the angle TOU ?

∠SOR = ∠TOU  (Vertically opposite angles are equal).

Therefore:

13 x = 15x - 8

Subtracting 13x from both sides

13x - 13x = 15x - 8 - 13x

0 = 15x - 13x - 8

2x - 8 = 0

Adding 8 to both sides:

2x - 8 + 8 = 0 + 8

2x = 8

2x/2 = 8/2  

x = 4

∠SOR = 13x

= 13(4)

= 52°

∠TOU = 15x - 8

= 15(4) - 8

= 60 - 8

= 52°

Let a = mArc R V = mArc V U

Therefore:

mArc R V + mArc V U + ∠TOU = 180 (sum of angles on a straight line)

Substituting:

a + a + 52 = 180

2a = 180-52

2a = 128

a = 128/2

a= 64°

mArc R V = mArc V U = 64°

In circle O, RT and SU are diameters. mArc R V = mArc V U = 64°. Thus, option C is correct.
