Explanation:

Problem 13

Step1: Recall Inscribed Angle Theorem

The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of its intercepted arc. So, \( m\angle FGH=\frac{1}{2}m\widehat{FJH} \).
Substitute the given expressions: \( 6x + 21=\frac{1}{2}(17x - 28) \).

Step2: Solve for \( x \)

Multiply both sides by 2: \( 2(6x + 21)=17x - 28 \)
\( 12x + 42 = 17x - 28 \)
Subtract \( 12x \) from both sides: \( 42 = 5x - 28 \)
Add 28 to both sides: \( 70 = 5x \)
Divide by 5: \( x = 14 \).

Step3: Find \( m\widehat{FJH} \)

Substitute \( x = 14 \) into \( 17x - 28 \):
\( 17(14)-28 = 238 - 28 = 210 \).

Step1: Apply Inscribed Angle Theorem

\( m\angle STU=\frac{1}{2}m\widehat{SU} \), so \( 5x - 16=\frac{1}{2}(12x - 50) \).

Step2: Solve for \( x \)

Multiply both sides by 2: \( 2(5x - 16)=12x - 50 \)
\( 10x - 32 = 12x - 50 \)
Subtract \( 10x \): \( -32 = 2x - 50 \)
Add 50: \( 18 = 2x \)
Divide by 2: \( x = 9 \).

Step3: Find \( m\angle STU \)

Substitute \( x = 9 \) into \( 5x - 16 \):
\( 5(9)-16 = 45 - 16 = 29 \).

Step1: Recognize Inscribed Angles Intercepting Same Arc

\( \angle ABD \) and \( \angle ACD \) intercept \( \widehat{AD} \), so they are equal. Thus, \( 6x + 26 = 13x - 9 \).

Step2: Solve for \( x \)

Subtract \( 6x \): \( 26 = 7x - 9 \)
Add 9: \( 35 = 7x \)
Divide by 7: \( x = 5 \).

Step3: Find \( m\widehat{AD} \)

Let \( m\widehat{AD}=y \). The inscribed angle \( \angle ABD=\frac{1}{2}y \), so \( 6(5)+26=\frac{1}{2}y \)
\( 30 + 26=\frac{1}{2}y \)
\( 56=\frac{1}{2}y \)
Multiply by 2: \( y = 112 \).

Answer:

\( 210^\circ \)
