Answer:
so it's going to be a long one, sorry i couldn't find a shorter one. But don't worry, the concept is easy.
now in triangle PSO,
PS = SO (given). ........1
OP = SO (radius) .......2
from 1 and 2
PS=OP
since all sides are equal, it's a equilateral triangle, which means all the angles the also equal (60°) .......3
PM=MO
this means, SM is median and is perpendicular to OP.
now, angle SMO =90°
angle OMR =90° ....... a
IN triangle OSM
angle OMR = 90°
angle MOS = 60° (from 3)
from these 2 angles, we can find
angle OSM(OSR)= 30°
since, OS = OR. (radius)
angle OSR = angle ORS (angles opposite to equal sides)
angle ORS = 30° ...........b
in triangle OMR, from 'a' and 'b'
angle POR = 60°
angle PQR = 30° (angle formed by a segment on any point of circle is half the angle substended by it at centre, (this therom is from class 10))
now in triangle MQR
WE, have angle QMR =90°
angle. MQR = 30°
then angle MRQ(QRS) =60°
then finally, angle QRS - angle PQR
= 60° - 30°
= 30°
and so your answer is 30°
so you may mark it as brainlist, if you are satisfied with the answer.
thank you
