Explanation
Correct answer: 46.
It's given that is the center of a circle and that points and lie on the circle. Therefore, and are radii of the circle. It follows that . If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite them are congruent. It follows that the angles and , which are across from the sides of equal length, are congruent. Let represent the measure of . It follows that the measure of is also . It's given that the measure of is . Because the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is , the equation , or , can be used to find the measure of . Subtracting from both sides of this equation yields . Dividing both sides of this equation by yields . Therefore, the measure of , in degrees, is .
Desmos solution:
Note: OR and OS are radii, so triangle ORS is isosceles and each base angle is (180-88)/2.
