a.The value of, m∠TSR=72°and m∠TRS=72°.

b. The value of, m∠ORS=m∠OSR=18°.

c. The value of, m∠ROS=144°.

Step by step solution

01

Part a. Step 1. Given information.

Given:

TR and TS are tangents to the circle at O from T.

m∠RTS=36°.

02

Step 2. Tangents from a same point towards the circle are equal.

TR=TS

In ΔRTS,

m∠RTS=36°.

Since TR=TS,

∠TSR=∠TRS=x (angles opposite to equal sides are equal).

Again,

03

Step 3. Apply angle sum property of a triangle).

since m∠RTS+m∠TRS+m∠TSR=1800

180=∘36+∘x+x,

180=∘36+∘2x,

x=72°

∴m∠TSR=m∠TRS=72°.

Therefore,the measures are: m∠TSR=72° and m∠TRS=72°.

04

Part b. Step 1. Given information.

Given:

TR and TSare tangents to the circle at Ofrom T.

m∠RTS=36°.

05

Step 2. Apply angle sum property of a quadrilateral.

In quadrilateral RTSO,

∠RTS+∠TSO+∠SOR+∠ORT=360°

∠TRO=∠TSO=90° (a tangent form an angle of 90° with the surface of the circle.)

06

Step 3. By plugging the values.

we have,

36+∘90+∘90+∘∠ROS=360°

216+∘∠ROS=360°

m∠ROS=144°

Now in ΔSOR,

RO=SO (radii of the circle),

∠ORS=∠OSR=x (angle opposite to equal sides are equal).

07

Step 4. Now, apply angle sum property of a triangle.

∠ROS+∠ORS+∠OSR=180°

144+∘x+x=180°,

2x=36°

x=18°

Therefore, value of, m∠ORS=m∠OSR=18°.

08

Part c. Step 1. Given information.

Given:

TRand TSare tangents to the circle at Ofrom T.

m∠RTS=36°.

09

Step 2. Apply angle sum property of a quadrilateral.

In quadrilateral RTSO,

∠RTS+∠TSO+∠SOR+∠ORT=360°

∠TRO=∠TSO=90° (a tangent form an angle of 90° with the surface of the circle.)

10

Step 3. By plugging the values.

we have,

36+∘90+∘90+∘∠ROS=360°,

216+∘∠ROS=360°,

m∠ROS=144°.

Therefore, the value of m∠ROS=144.∘
