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.

An expression for the total cost of the daycare for Lucy's dog this week is T = 3F + 2H and the total cost is equal to $114.
<h3>How to write an expression for the total cost?</h3>In this exercise, you're required to write an expression for the total cost of the daycare for Lucy's dog this week. Thus, we would assign a variable to the cost for full-day and half-day day care as follows:
- Let the cost for full-day be F.
- Let the cost for half-day be H.
- Let total cost be T.
Thus, the total cost of the daycare is given by:
T = 3F + 2H
Evaluating the expression, we have:
T = 3(28) + 2(15)
T = 84 + 30
T = $114.
