Answer:

x = 20°

Explanation:

You want the value of x in the given figure.

Inscribed angle

The measure of inscribed angle RTS is half the measure of the central angle ROS, so is 5x/2 = 2.5x.

Angle measures

Triangle SOT is isosceles, so angle STO has measure equal to x.

The sum of angles RTO and OTS is 2.5x, so we have ...

30° +x = 2.5x

30° = 1.5x . . . . subtract x

x = 20° . . . . . . divide by 1.5
