Answer:
(a) x = 30°
(b) mRS = 30°
mST = 120°
mTU = 120°
mUR = 90°
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) In the picture attached, the diagram is shown.
Given that m arc RS = x, from the ratios:
m arc ST = 4x
m arc TU = 4x
m arc UR = 3x
The addition of the four arcs must be equal to 360°, then:
x + 4x + 4x + 3x = 360°
12x = 360°
x = 360°/12 = 30°
(b) m arc RS = x = 30°
m arc ST = 4x = 4*30° = 120°
m arc TU = 4x = 4*30° = 120°
m arc UR = 3x = 3*30° = 90°
