b)

To find angle RST, we would apply the theorem which states that the angle subtended at the circumference of a circle by 2 intersecting chords is equal to half the intercepted arc. This means that

angle RST = arc RT/2

From the information given,

arc RT = 22

angle RST = 22/2

angle RST = 11 degrees

c)

The angle formed between the tangent and the diameter of the circle is 90 degrees. This means that

angle WSR = 90 degrees

angle WST = angle RST + angle WSR

angle WST = 11 + 90

angle WST = 101 degrees
