Math Problem Statement

Find each angle or arc measure for m∠Q, m∠R, and m∠S in a circle where angle measurements and intercepted arcs are provided.

Solution

Let's solve the problem by analyzing each angle or arc measure requested:

Given Information

  • mP=57m\angle P = 57^\circ
  • Arc PSPS is 137137^\circ
  • Arc RQRQ is 4141^\circ

Solution Steps

  1. Finding mQm\angle Q:

    • Angle QQ is an inscribed angle subtended by arc PSPS.
    • The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of the arc it intercepts.
    • Therefore, mQ=1372=68.5m\angle Q = \frac{137}{2} = 68.5^\circ.
  2. Given mR=123m\angle R = 123^\circ:

    • This angle measure is provided, so we do not need to calculate it.
  3. Finding mSm\angle S:

    • Angle SS is an inscribed angle subtended by arc RQRQ.
    • Similarly, mS=412=20.5m\angle S = \frac{41}{2} = 20.5^\circ.

Final Answers

  • mQ=68.5m\angle Q = 68.5^\circ
  • mR=123m\angle R = 123^\circ
  • mS=20.5m\angle S = 20.5^\circ
