In a circle, O is the center of the circle. Chords PQ and RS intersect at T. If ∠POS = 32° and ∠ROQ = 26°, then the measure of ∠PTS lies between ? |
25° and 30° 30° and 35° 35° and 40° 40° and 45° |
25° and 30° |
∠QST = \(\frac{1}{2}\) ∠ROQ ∠QST = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (26°) = 13° ∠SQT = \(\frac{1}{2}\) ∠POS = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (32°) = 16° ∠PTS is the exterior angle of ΔSTQ ∴ ∠PTS = ∠TSQ + TQS = 13° + 16° = 29° So, ∠PTS lies between 25° and 30°.
