1. **State the problem:** We are given a circle with points Q, P, and R on its circumference. The angle at point P formed by chords QP and PR is 75°.
2. **Given:** The arc QP measures 80°.
3. **Goal:** Find the measure of the arc PR, which is indicated by a question mark.
4. **Key formula:** The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of its intercepted arc.
$$\text{Inscribed angle} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Intercepted arc}$$
5. **Apply the formula:** The angle at P intercepts the arc QR (the arc opposite to P between Q and R passing through the circle).
Let the measure of arc QR be $x$.
Then:
$$75^\circ = \frac{1}{2} x \implies x = 2 \times 75^\circ = 150^\circ$$
6. **Find arc PR:** The entire circle measures 360°.
The arcs around the circle are QP (80°), PR (unknown), and QR (150°).
Since QP + PR + QR = 360°, we have:
$$80^\circ + \text{arc PR} + 150^\circ = 360^\circ$$
7. **Solve for arc PR:**
$$\text{arc PR} = 360^\circ - 80^\circ - 150^\circ = 130^\circ$$
**Final answer:** The measure of the arc PR is **130°**.
