Step-by-step solution

2 steps

To find ∠VUS\angle VUS, we will use circle theorems.

  1. Find ∠VUR\angle VUR using the Alternate Segment Theorem.

    The Alternate Segment Theorem states that the angle between a tangent and a chord through the point of contact is equal to the angle in the alternate segment.
    Given that MQMQ is a tangent to the circle at RR and VRVR is a chord, ∠VRM\angle VRM is the angle between the tangent MRMR and the chord VRVR. The angle subtended by the chord VRVR in the alternate segment is ∠VUR\angle VUR.

    ∠VUR=∠VRM\angle VUR = \angle VRM

    Given ∠VRM=46∘\angle VRM = 46^\circ.

    ∠VUR=46∘\angle VUR = 46^\circ
  2. Find ∠RUS\angle RUS using the Angles in the Same Segment Theorem.

    The Angles in the Same Segment Theorem states that angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are equal.
    Given ∠RTS=28∘\angle RTS = 28^\circ. This angle is subtended by the arc RSRS.
