<h2>Answer:</h2>

angle QRS = 51°

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The diagram for the question has been attached to this response.

From the diagram, some circle theorems can be applied.

<em><u>Circle theorem:</u></em>

The angle subtended by an arc of a circle at the centre is twice the angle subtended by it at any other point on the remaining part of the circle.

From the diagram, QR is the arc and therefore:

∠QSR = 2 x ∠ QTR

<em>Since ∠QTR = 39°</em>

=> ∠QSR = 2 x 39°

=> ∠QSR = 78°

<u><em>Other theorem:</em></u>

(i)The base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal.

Triangle QSR is an isosceles triangle, therefore, angles SQR and QRS are equal. i.e

∠SQR = ∠QRS

(ii) The sum of angles of a triangle is 180°. i.e

∠SQR + ∠QRS + ∠QSR = 180°

<em>Since ∠SQR = ∠QRS and ∠QSR = 78°</em>

=> ∠QRS + ∠QRS + 78° = 180°

=> 2(∠QRS) = 180° - 78°

=> 2(∠QRS) = 102°

<em>Divide both sides by 2</em>

=> ∠QRS = 51°

Therefore, angle QRS = 51°

What is the measure of a base angle of an isosceles triangle if the measure of the vertex angle is 38 and the two congruent side
Harrizon [31]
Bearing in mind that an isosceles triangle has twin sides, and coming out of the vertex they make twin angles at the base, check the picture below.

The red lines on the diagram show the layout for a running event. Runners will race around the triangle-shaped grassy area. What
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Total distance = 5.754 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Red lines of the right triangle show the layout of the race course.

Total length of the race course = Perimeter of the triangle

Perimeter of the triangle = Sum of the measures of all three sides

                                         = 1.83 + 1.524 + 2.4

                                         = 5.754 km

Therefore, total distance of the race course is 5.754 km.

How do i get a fraction and as a decimal for 72%full
garik1379 [7]
Move the decimal twice to the right to get a decimal (it should start behind the 2 and end up in front of the 7)
For a fraction just put it over 100 72/100
