The measure of arc RPQ is 31 degrees.

The image shows a circle with center S, points P, Q, and R on the circle, and central angle ∠PSR measuring 31°. Arc RPQ is the arc subtended by central angle ∠PSR.

Find the measure of arc RPQ.

The measure of a central angle is equal to the measure of the arc it subtends. Therefore, the measure of arc RPQ is equal to the measure of central angle ∠PSR, which is 31°.

The measure of arc RPQ is 31 degrees.
