Line segment TS is tangent to circle O at point N.
1 answer:
Answer:
148°
Step-by-step explanation:
The measure of the intercepted arc QN is twice the measure of inscribed angle QNT.
arc QN = 2(74°) = 148°

<em>Comment on the question and answer</em>
Your description "on the circle between points Q and N" is ambiguous. You used the same description for both points P and R. The interpretation we used is shown in the attachment. If point P is on the long arc NQ, then the measure of arc QPN will be the difference between 148° and 360°, hence 212°. You need to choose the answer that matches the diagram you have.

We call angle QNT an "inscribed angle" because it is a degenerate case of an inscribed angle. The usual case has the vertex of the angle separate from the ends of the arc it intercepts. In the case of a tangent meeting a chord, the vertex is coincident with one of the ends of the intercepted arc. The relation between angle measure and arc measure remains the same: 1 : 2.

<h2>Answer</h2>
8640 square inches
<h2>Explanation</h2>To solve this, we are going to take advantage of the fact that 1 square foot is equal to 144 square inches so we can create a suitable conversion fraction.
Since we want to convert from square feet from inches, the denominator of our conversion fraction will be square feet so we can cancel those out and get the result in square inches:
There are 8640 square inches in 60 square feet
