Option A:
60o
Option B:
80o
Option C:
120o
Option D:
160o
waecmaths solution:
$\begin{align} & \angle RO{{T}_{reflex}}={{280}^{\circ }} \\ & \angle RO{{T}_{acute}}={{360}^{\circ }}-{{280}^{\circ }}={{80}^{\circ }}\text{ }\!\!\{\!\!\text{ sum of angles at a point }\!\!\}\!\!\text{ } \\ & \angle RST=\tfrac{1}{2}\angle RO{{T}_{reflex}}=\tfrac{1}{2}({{280}^{\circ }})={{140}^{\circ }}\text{ }\!\!\{\!\!\text{ }\angle \text{ at cirumference}=\tfrac{1}{2}\angle \text{ at centre }\!\!\}\!\!\text{ } \\ & a={{360}^{\circ }}-\angle RO{{T}_{acute}}-\angle ORS-\angle STO\text{ }\!\!\{\!\!\text{ sum of }\angle s\text{ in a quad }\!\!\}\!\!\text{ } \\ & a={{360}^{\circ }}-{{140}^{\circ }}-{{60}^{\circ }}-{{80}^{\circ }}={{80}^{\circ }} \\\end{align}$
