Answers:

RQT = 159

RQS = 69

==============================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a segment connecting R and S.

Triangle SRQ is a right triangle due to Thale's Theorem. That theorem is a special case of the inscribed angle theorem. The 90 degree angle R is opposite the diameter SQ.

Minor arc QR = 42 degrees. Half of this is 42/2 = 21, which is the measure of inscribed angle RSQ. This inscribed angle subtends minor arc QR.

Focus on triangle SRQ. We have two known angles (R = 90 and S = 21). Let's use them to find the missing angle.

The inside angles of any triangle always add to 180 degrees.

S+R+Q = 180

21+90+Q = 180

111+Q = 180

Q = 180-111

Q = 69

Angle RQS is 69 degrees.

----------------

We'll add angle SQT onto the previous result to get angle RQT.

angle RQT = (angle RQS) + (angle RQT)

angle RQT = (69) + (90)

angle RQT = 159 degrees
