ANSWER

m∠RQS = 33.5°

Step-by-step explanation

As we can see in the diagram, RQ is the diameter of circle P. Angles RPS and QPS are supplementary angles, so if m∠QPS = 113°, then,


m\angle RPS=180\degree-113\degree=67\degree

Angle RPS is a central angle that intersects arc RS, so the measure of arc RS is also 67°.

We have to find the measure of angle RQS, which is an inscribed angle - note that the vertex is on the circle, and it intercepts arc RS, so its measure is half the measure of the intercepted arc,


m\angle RQS=(1)/(2)mRS=(1)/(2)\cdot67\degree=33.5\degree

Hence, the measure of angle RQS is 33.5°.
