We have an isosceles triangle therefore

arc RT = arc RS =130°

In a circle we have 360°, so we can find arc ST with the next equation

arc ST= 360-130-130=100°

Then in order to find the m


\begin{gathered} m<\text{SRT}=(1)/(2)ST \\ m<\text{SRT}=(1)/(2)(100) \\ m<\text{SRT}=50\text{ \degree} \end{gathered}
