AI Thread Summary
In triangle PST, angle PSR is calculated as 180 degrees minus the sum of the other two angles, which are 81 and 22 degrees, resulting in PSR being 77 degrees. The discussion confirms that this calculation is correct based on the principle that the sum of angles in a triangle equals 180 degrees. The context involves a circle with points PQRS and straight lines PQT and SRT. The approach to finding angle PSR adheres to the relevant geometric equations. The conclusion affirms the accuracy of the calculation.

From triangle PST, angle PSR = 180-(81+22)
=77 degrees sum of angles in triangle.
Is my attempt correct?

Looks good to me.
 

Thread 'Family of lines that are at a distance of 5 from the origin'

I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
