Given:
m(ar QT) = 220
m∠P = 54
To find:
The measure of arc RS.
Solution:
PQ and PT are secants intersect outside a circle.
<em>If two secants intersects outside a circle, then the measure of the angle formed is one-half the positive difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.</em>


Multiply by 2 on both sides.


Subtract 220 from both sides.


Multiply by (-1) on both sides.


The measure of arc RS is 112.

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
0.4(12 - 3x) = 0.3(12x - 16)
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute: 4.8 - 1.2x = 3.6x - 4.8
- Add 1.2x on both sides: 4.8 = 4.8x - 4.8
- Add 4.8 on both sides: 9.6 = 4.8x
- Divide 4.8 on both sides: 2 = x
- Rewrite: x = 2
