Three points P, Q, R, and S are located on the circumference of a circle. If ∠RPS = 30° and ∠PQS = 40°, what is the measure of ∠PRS?
40°
Angles subtended by the same arc PS at points on the same side of the circle are equal. Since ∠PRS and ∠PQS are both subtended by arc PS, \(\angle PRS = \angle PQS = 40°\).
