Solution
Join PR.
i. ∠PRQ = 90°
(Angle in a semicircle)
∴ In right triangle PQR,
∠RPQ = 90° – ∠PQR
= 90° – 58°
= 32°
ii. Also, SR || PQ
∠PRS = ∠RPQ = 32° (Alternate angles)
In cyclic quadrilateral PRST,
∠STP = 180° – ∠PRS
= 180° – 32°
= 148°
(Pair of opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary)
