We know that segment RS is a diameter of the circle, this means that arcs RS an RST measure 180°. Now that we know that an using the ratio for arcs RT and TS given we have:


\begin{gathered} RT+5RT=180 \\ 6RT=180 \\ RT=(180)/(6) \\ RT=30 \end{gathered}

Now, we know that an angle inscribed in a circle is half its intercepted arc, then we have:


m\angle RST=(30)/(5)=15

Therefore, we have that arc RT is 30° and angle RST is 15°
