Answer:


arc\ RF=80^o

Explanation:

we know that

The inscribed angle is half that of the arc it comprises.

step 1

Find the measure of the arc PQR


109^o=(1)/(2)[arc\ PQR]


arc\ PQR=218^o

step 2

Find the measure of arc QR


arc\ PQR=arc\ PQ+arc\ QR

we have


arc\ PQR=218^o


arc\ PQ=74^o

substitute


218^o=74^o+arc\ QR


arc\ QR=144^o

step 3

Find the measure of the arc QRF


112^o=(1)/(2)[arc\ QRF]


arc\ QRF=224^o

step 4

Find the measure of arc RF


arc\ QRF=arc\ QR+arc\ RF

we have


arc\ QRF=224^o


arc\ QR=144^o

substitute


224^o=144^o+arc\ RF


arc\ RF=80^o
