Answer:

mRS = 110

Step-by-step explanation:

Since RS and TU have the same length, we can say that the arc formed by these segments has the same measure. So, we can write the following equation:

4x + 18 = 7x - 51

Now, we can solve the equation for x, so add 52 to both sides:

4x + 18 + 51 = 7x - 51 + 51

4x + 69 = 7x

Subtract 4x from both sides:

4x + 69 - 4x = 7x - 4x

69 = 3x

Finally, divide both sides by 3:

69/3 = 3x/3

23 = x

Now, we can substitute x = 23 on the arc formed by points R and S.

4x + 18 = 4(23) + 18

4x + 18 = 92 + 18

4x + 18 = 110

Therefore, the measure of arc RS is 110

mRS = 110
