Q. 2. Find the measure of each are of ⊙P, where RT is a diameter.Arc RT= Arc RS= Are ST=
Identify Circle Division: Identify that a diameter of a circle divides the circle into two equal halves, each being a semicircle. So, the measure of arc RT, which is a semicircle, is 180 degrees.
Add Arc Measures: Since RT is a diameter and RS + ST make up the whole semicircle, add the measures of arc RS and arc ST to find the measure of arc RT.Let's say arc RS = x degrees and arc ST = y degrees. Then, x+y=180 degrees.
Insufficient Information: Realize that we don't have enough information to find the exact measures of arc RS and arc ST. We need more information, like the measure of an angle or another arc, to solve for x and y.
