In the figure shown the value of a is equal to

a = 7.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure has been re-labelled and attached to this response.

From the figure, the larger right triangle DAB and the small right triangle BCA are similar. This is because;

i. They have two corresponding congruent angles which are the right angle

and angle B

Therefore, we can say that;

Cross multiply

a x a = 13 x 4

a² = 52

a = √52

a = 7.2

6 spoons of sugar for every 21 cups of flour

step-by-step explanation:

2. angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees.

step-by-step explanation:  

we have been given a diagram of a circle and we are told that measure of arc qvt is 156 degrees.  

we can see from our given diagram that angle qrt and angle qst subtends to arc qvt.

since we know that angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are always equal.

by angle subtended by same arc theorem, measure of angle qrt and angle qst will be equal to the measure of arc qvt.

therefore, angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees and 2nd statement is the correct choice.
