Answer:

∠SPR = 48°

Explanation:

The relevant relations are ...

  • an inscribed angle is half the measure of the arc it intercepts
  • a triangle inscribed in a semicircle is a right triangle
  • an exterior angle is equal to the sum of the remote interior angles of a triangle

Since PR is a diameter, triangle PQR is a right triangle with angle PQR being the right angle.

This makes ∠PRQ complementary to ∠RPQ:

∠PRQ = 90° -28° = 62°

Exterior angle RTS is the sum of interior angles TRQ and TQR, so angle TQR can be found to be ...

110° = 62° +∠TQR

∠TQR = 110° -62° = 48° = ∠SQR

__

Angle TQR, also angle SQR, subtends arc SR, so is the same measure as angle SPR, which also subtends the same arc.

∠SPR = 48°
