1. Problem Description

We are given a circle with diameters WUWU and SVSV. The measure of angle WXSWXS is 7575^\circ and the measure of angle UXVUXV is 8585^\circ. We need to find the measures of arcs STST, SUSU, TUWTUW, and VTVT in degrees.

2. Solution Steps

Since WUWU and SVSV are diameters, we know that WSUWSU and SUVSUV are semicircles, and thus measure 180180^\circ.
Similarly, WTVWTV and WUVWUV are semicircles and thus measure 180180^\circ.
Arc WSWS has the same degree measure as central angle WXSWXS, so WS=75WS = 75^\circ.
Since WUWU is a diameter, WU=180WU = 180^\circ. Then SU=180WS=18075=105SU = 180^\circ - WS = 180^\circ - 75^\circ = 105^\circ.
Arc UVUV has the same degree measure as central angle UXVUXV, so UV=85UV = 85^\circ.
Since SVSV is a diameter, SV=180SV = 180^\circ. Then ST=180UVWS=180(75+85)=180160=20ST = 180^\circ - UV - WS = 180^\circ - (75^\circ + 85^\circ) = 180^\circ - 160^\circ = 20^\circ.
TU=SUST=10520TU = SU - ST = 105^\circ - 20^\circ. The measure of arc TUTU is 85ST85 - ST.
Since SU=ST+TUSU = ST + TU, 105UT105^\circ - UT. SU=180WSSU = 180^\circ - WS, so SU=18075=105SU = 180 - 75 = 105.
Thus, TU=SUSTTU = SU - ST, and angle SXTSXT = angle VXUVXU.
Since the arc ST corresponds to the angle SXT, ST is equal to UXV angle minus SXW angle.
Since SU=ST+TUSU = ST + TU, we have 105=85+ST105 = 85 + ST. So, measure arc ST = 180 - 75 -85 =

0. Arc $ST = 20^\circ$.

Arc SU=105SU = 105^\circ.
Arc TUW=TU+UWTUW = TU + UW. Since TU=85TU = 85^\circ, and UW=WS+ST=75+20UW = WS+ST = 75+20, so TUW=85+75=160TUW = 85 + 75 =160, minus St which is
2

0. Arc ST is given by the $UXV - WXS = 85 - 75 = 10$. This would be not correct.

The calculation of arc STST is thus:
Since WV=180WV = 180^{\circ}, WS+ST+TV=180WS+ST+TV= 180, 75+ST+85=18075+ ST +85 =180, ST=180(85+75)=180160=20ST = 180- (85+75)=180-160= 20.
Arc TU=180(angleTSV)TU = 180 - (angle TSV). Since AngleTSV=AngleUSVAngleUST=90xAngle TSV = Angle USV - Angle UST = 90^{\circ} - x
m(TUW)=m(TU)+m(UW)=85+75=16050m(TUW) = m(TU) + m(UW) = 85+75 = 160^\circ -50^\circ
Arc TUW=TU+UW=TU+WS+STTUW = TU + UW = TU+ WS + ST . So, TU=SUSTTU= SU - ST , TU=10520=85TU= 105 -20 = 85 , TUW=85+75=18525+165+5TUW = 85 + 75=185 -25 + 165 + 5, 85+75=16085 + 75 = 160.
VT=1807520450VT = 180 - 75 - 20 -450
Arc VTVT has the same degree measure as central angle VXTVXT, so VT=75VT = 75. VT = WS = 75
* ST=20ST = 20^\circ
* SU=105SU = 105^\circ
* TUW=TU+UWTUW = TU+UW, TU = 85 and UW =
7

5. So, TUW = 160 degree.

* VT=75VT = 75^\circ.

3. Final Answer

ST = 20
SU = 105
TUW = 160
VT = 75
