Answer:
- x = 30°
- RS = 30°, SR = TU = 120°, UR = 90°
- ∠P = 45°
- ∠UTS = 60°
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) If RS = x, then the sum of arcs around the circle is ...
x + 4x +4x +3x = 360°
12x = 360°
x = 30°
__
(b) Based on the given ratios, the arc measures are computed from x. For example, ST = TU = 4x = 4(30°) = 120°
- RS = 30°
- ST = 120°
- TU = 120°
- UR = 90°
__
(c) Angle P is half the difference of arcs TU and RS:
∠P = (TU -RS)/2 = (120° -30°)/2
∠P = 45°
__
(d) Inscribed angle UTS is half the measure of the arc it intercepts. Arc RU has the measure (30° +90°) = 120°, so the measure of UTS is ...
∠UTS = 120°/2 = 60°
