Answer:

59°

Explanation:

Well, as you can see from the figure, the line WU is a diameter which means that it is a straight line. So, Angle WSU is 180° (Because straight angles are 180°)

Also, angle WSU is formed by addition of angle VSW and VSU. The value of VSU is given in the picture. So,

∠VSW + ∠VSU = 180°

∠VSW = 180° - ∠VSU

∠VSW = 180° - 121 (Because ∠VSU is given 121°)

∠VSW = 59°

Therefore, angle VSW is 59 degrees.

So, here you go. I hope you understand my explanation. Have a good day.
