1. Problem Description

A circle is divided into two arcs by points A and B, and the ratio of their lengths is 5:

7. We need to calculate the peripheral angles that correspond to these arcs.

2. Solution Steps

The ratio of the lengths of the arcs is 5:

7. This means that the corresponding central angles also have the same ratio.

Let the central angles be 5x5x and 7x7x. The sum of the central angles in a circle is 360360^{\circ}.
So, 5x+7x=3605x + 7x = 360^{\circ}.
12x=36012x = 360^{\circ}
x=36012=30x = \frac{360^{\circ}}{12} = 30^{\circ}
The central angles are:
5x=530=1505x = 5 \cdot 30^{\circ} = 150^{\circ}
7x=730=2107x = 7 \cdot 30^{\circ} = 210^{\circ}
The peripheral angle is half of the central angle that subtends the same arc.
Therefore, the peripheral angles are:
1502=75\frac{150^{\circ}}{2} = 75^{\circ}
2102=105\frac{210^{\circ}}{2} = 105^{\circ}

3. Final Answer

The peripheral angles are 7575^{\circ} and 105105^{\circ}.
