Answer:

option 4

Explanation:

If the trapezoid were to be inscribed in a circle , then it would be a cyclic quadrilateral.

• the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary

from the diagram

∠ Q + ∠ S = 115° + 65° = 180°

∠ P + ∠ R = 115° + 65° = 180°

Then PQRS can be inscribed in a circle
