1. Problem Description

We are given a circle with intersecting chords SPSP and TRTR. The measure of angle SUTSUT is 4747^\circ and the measure of arc STST is 5353^\circ. We are asked to find the measure of arc PRPR.

2. Solution Steps

The measure of an angle formed by two chords intersecting inside a circle is half the sum of the intercepted arcs.
In our case, SUT=47\angle SUT = 47^\circ and it intercepts arcs STST and PRPR.
So,
mSUT=12(mST+mPR)m\angle SUT = \frac{1}{2}(m\stackrel{\frown}{ST} + m\stackrel{\frown}{PR})
47=12(53+mPR)47^\circ = \frac{1}{2}(53^\circ + m\stackrel{\frown}{PR})
Multiply both sides by 2:
94=53+mPR94^\circ = 53^\circ + m\stackrel{\frown}{PR}
Subtract 5353^\circ from both sides:
mPR=9453m\stackrel{\frown}{PR} = 94^\circ - 53^\circ
mPR=41m\stackrel{\frown}{PR} = 41^\circ

3. Final Answer

mPR=41m\stackrel{\frown}{PR} = 41^\circ
