In circle S, angle QTR is an inscribed angle. What is the measure of angle QRS?
1 answer:
<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°

Answer:
There are a total of 23 cars with air conditioning and automatic transmission but not power steering
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A be the cars that have Air conditioning, B the cars that have Automatic transmission and C the cars that have pwoer Steering. Lets denote |D| the cardinality of a set D.
Remember that for 2 sets E and F, we have that
Also,
|E| = |E ∩F| + |E∩F^c|
We now alredy the following:
|A| = 89
|B| = 99
|C| = 74
|(A \cup B \cup C)^c| = 24
|A \ (B U C)| = 24 (This is A minus B and C, in other words, cars that only have Air conditioning).
|B \ (AUC)| = 65
|C \ (AUB)| = 26
We want to know |(A∩B) \ C|. Lets calculate it by taking the information given and deducting more things
For example:
99 = |B| = |B ∩ C| + |B∩C^c| = 11 + |B∩C^c|
Therefore, |B∩C^c| = 99-11 = 88
And |A ∩ B ∩ C^c| = |B∩C^c| - |B∩C^c∩A^c| = |B∩C^c| - |B \ (AUC)| = 88-65 = 23.
This means that the amount of cars that have both transmission and air conditioning but now power steering is 23.
