Answer:
a) x = 30°
b) mRS = x = 30°
mST = 4x = 4(30°) = 120°
mTU = 4x = 4(30°) = 120°
mUR = 3x = 3(30°) = 90°
Question:
The complete question as found on Chegg website:
In the diagram below, secants PT and PU have been drawn from exterior point P such that the four arcs
intercepted have the following ratio of measurements:
mRS : mST :MTU : mUR=1:4:4:3
(a) If mRS = x, then write an equation that could be used to solve for x
and find the value of x.
(b) State the measure of each of the four arcs.
mRS =
mST =
MTU
MUR =
Step-by-step explanation:
Find attached the diagram related to the question
mRS : mST : mTU : mUR = 1:4:4:3
Since mRS = x
Writing the ratios of the measure of angle in terms of mRS:
mST = 4× mRS = 4×x = 4x
mTU = 4× mRS = 4×x = 4x
mUR= 3× mRS = 3×x = 3x
The sum of measure the 4 measures of arc = 360° (sum of angle in a circle)
mRS + mST + mTU + mUR = 360°
x + 4x + 4x + 3x = 360
12x = 360
x = 360/12
x = 30°
b) The measure of angle
mRS = x = 30°
mST = 4x = 4(30°) = 120°
mTU = 4x = 4(30°) = 120°
mUR = 3x = 3(30°) = 90°

To compare these numbers, you must first put them into one format. Since you have mixed numbers, you may have to find and use the LCD.
-2.5, 1/5, 10, -12/4, 18/5, 10 could be simplified somewhat immediately:
-2.5, 1/5, 10, -3, (3 3/5) This set of numbers is simple enough so that you could rearrange them in ascending order mentally:
-3, -2.5, 1/5, (3 3/5), 10
In this case the number of elements in this set is odd, so all you have to do is to select the MIDDLE element: 1/5.
The median is 1/5.
You MUST learn this procedure (arranging the set elements in ascending order and selecting the middle element) so that you can apply it yourself.
Check the picture below, is a negative angle, thus, is going "clockwise"
