Answer

90∘\text{}90^\circ\text{}

Step-by-step solution

2 steps

Here are the calculations for the angles:

1.2.1 Calculate WRS

  1. Identify the relationship between the tangent and diameter.

    RW is a tangent to the circle at R, and RS is the diameter. The angle between a tangent and a diameter at the point of contact is 90∘90^\circ.

    ∠WRS=90∘\angle WRS = 90^\circ

    The size of WRS is 90∘\boxed{\text{}90^\circ\text{}}

    1.2.2 Calculate W

  2. Identify angles using the tangent-chord theorem and angle in a semicircle.

    RW is a tangent and RT is a chord, so ∠WRT=∠RST\angle WRT = \angle RST (tangent-chord theorem).
