Given:

PQRS is a circle, PQT and SRT  are straight lines.

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

Since PQRS is a circle, PQT and SRT  are straight lines, therefore, PQRS isa cyclic quadrilateral.

We know that, sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180 degrees.

m\angle SPQ+m\angle QRS=180^\circ

81^\circ+m\angle QRS=180^\circ

m\angle QRS=180^\circ-81^\circ

m\angle QRS=99^\circ

Now, SRT  is a straight line.

m\angle QRT+m\angle QRS=180^\circ             (Linear pair)

m\angle QRT+99^\circ=180^\circ

m\angle QRT=180^\circ-99^\circ

m\angle QRT=81^\circ               ...(i)

According to the Exterior angle theorem, in a triangle the measure of an exterior angle is equal the sum of the opposite interior angles.

Using exterior angle theorem in triangle QRT, we get

m\angle PQR=m\angle QRT+m\angle QTR

x=81^\circ+22^\circ

x=103^\circ

Therefore, the value of x is 103 degrees.

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

0.0475

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Area To the left :

P(Z < 550) = 0.0475 ; that is proportion who scored better than of 550 has a Zscore of 0.0475.

Hence, percentage of students who scored better than she did will be 0.0475
