Answer:

D 70

Explanation:

Hello there!

A triangle formed inside of a circle using the diameter ( segment RQ ) is a right triangle

Meaning that the angle across from the hypotenuse ( diameter ) is a right angle ( = 90 degrees )

That being said we are given two angles (90 and 20 ) so we can easily calculate the measure of the missing angle

Remember the sum of the angles in a triangle is equal to 180 so we can find the missing angles by subtracting the given angles ( 90 and 20 in this case ) from 180

angle PRS = 180 - 90 - 20

180 - 90 = 90

90 - 20 = 70

Therefore your answer is D. 70
