arc QS in degrees is 2 x angle QRS

so angle substended at the centre of the circle by QS is 60 degrees

now,

theta/360 x 2pi x r

theta is 60 degrees

radius of the circle is 5 (from the center of P)

so,

60/360 x 2(3.14) x 5

60/360 x 6.28 x 5

= 0.1666 x 31.4

= 5.23124

QS = 5 degrees to the nearest tenth
