1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to find the value of xx in the given circle. We are given that the angle at TT is 5252^{\circ}. The lines RSRS and TSTS are radii of the circle, so they have the same length.

2. Solution Steps

Since RSRS and TSTS are radii of the circle, triangle RSTRST is an isosceles triangle.
Therefore, the angles at RR and TT are equal, so SRT=RTS=52\angle SRT = \angle RTS = 52^{\circ}.
The sum of angles in a triangle is 180180^{\circ}, so RST=180SRTRTS=1805252=180104=76\angle RST = 180^{\circ} - \angle SRT - \angle RTS = 180^{\circ} - 52^{\circ} - 52^{\circ} = 180^{\circ} - 104^{\circ} = 76^{\circ}.
The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of the intercepted arc.
So, the measure of arc RTRT is 2×RST=2×76=1522 \times \angle RST = 2 \times 76^{\circ} = 152^{\circ}.
The angle xx is an inscribed angle that intercepts the arc RTRT.
Thus, x=12×arc RTx = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{arc } RT. The inscribed angle that intercepts the arc RT is RST\angle RST which is 76 degrees. It cannot be xx.
Instead, the question asks for the measure of arc ST. xx is the arc RSRS. The arc ST has measure 2SRT=252=1042 * \angle SRT = 2 * 52 = 104
We can use the circumference of the circle 360=x+104+152360 = x + 104 + 152
360=x+256360 = x + 256
x=360256=104x = 360 - 256 = 104

3. Final Answer

The value of x is 104.
