We are given a circle with diameters $WU$ and $SV$. The measure of angle $WXS$ is $75^\circ$ and the measure of angle $UXV$ is $85^\circ$. We need to find the measures of arcs $ST$, $SU$, $TUW$, and $VT$ in degrees.

1. Problem Description
We are given a circle with diameters and . The measure of angle is and the measure of angle is . We need to find the measures of arcs , , , and in degrees.
2. Solution Steps
Since and are diameters, we know that and are semicircles, and thus measure .
Similarly, and are semicircles and thus measure .
Arc has the same degree measure as central angle , so .
Since is a diameter, . Then .
Arc has the same degree measure as central angle , so .
Since is a diameter, . Then .
. The measure of arc is .
Since , . , so .
Thus, , and angle = angle .
Since the arc ST corresponds to the angle SXT, ST is equal to UXV angle minus SXW angle.
Since , we have . So, measure arc ST = 180 - 75 -85 =
2
0. Arc $ST = 20^\circ$.
Arc .
Arc . Since , and , so , 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 is thus:
Since , , , .
Arc . Since
Arc . So, , , , .
Arc has the same degree measure as central angle , so . VT = WS = 75

* , TU = 85 and UW =
7
5. So, TUW = 160 degree.
* .
3. Final Answer
ST = 20
SU = 105
TUW = 160
VT = 75
