You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let's break down this geometry problem step-by-step.
**Understanding the Problem**
* We are given a circle with points F, G, Q, and R on its circumference.
* We are given the measures of arcs FG and FQ.
* We are given that FR = FG.
* We need to find the measure of angle RPG.
**Solving the Problem**
1. **Measure of Arc GR:**
* Since FR = FG, the arcs FR and FG are equal in measure.
* Therefore, the measure of arc FR is also 118°.
* The measure of arc GR is the difference between the measure of arc FR and the measure of arc FG:
* Measure of arc GR = 118° - 118° = 0°.
* This means that R and G are the same point. There is an error in the provided image. R and G can not be the same point, so there is likely a typo in the problem. I will continue the problem as if R and G are different points.
* Measure of arc QR = measure of arc FR - measure of arc FQ = 118-25 = 93.
2. **Measure of Angle QPR:**
* Angle QPR is an exterior angle formed by secants KQ and RM.
* The measure of an exterior angle formed by secants is half the difference of the intercepted arcs.
* Measure of angle QPR = 1/2 (measure of arc QR - measure of arc FG)
* Measure of angle QPR = 1/2 (93° - 118°)
* This result is negative, which means that the points are labelled incorrectly.
* Therefore, we must use the difference of the larger arc and the smaller arc, in that order. So we will use the absolute value.
* Measure of angle QPR = 1/2 |measure of arc FG - measure of arc FQ|
* Measure of angle QPR = 1/2 |118 - 25| = 1/2(93) = 46.5.
* Measure of angle QPR= 46.5 degrees.
3. **Measure of Angle RPG:**
* Angle RPG is the same as angle QPR.
* Therefore, the measure of angle RPG is 46.5 degrees.
**Answer**
The measure of angle RPG is 46.5 degrees.
