See accompanying image for the three required items indicated in blue.

First,

angle RTS

=angle subtended by chord RS on the circumference

=half the arc RS = 46/2=23 °


Next, Arc ST is the supplement of arc RS, since RXT is a diameter.

so

arc ST = 180-46=134 °


Finally, angle RST sits on a diameter, hence it equals 90 °.

So angle RSQ=90-71=19 °.

Since angle subtended by chord RQ on the circumference is half that of arc RQ, we have arc RQ=2*angle RSQ=2*19=38 °
