1. Problem Description

In circle PQRSTPQRST with center OO, PORPOR and QOTQOT are straight lines. QTQT is parallel to RSRS. Angle RTQ=33RTQ = 33^{\circ} and RS=ST|RS| = |ST|. We need to find angle RSTRST.

2. Solution Steps

Since QTRSQT \parallel RS, TRS=RTQ=33\angle TRS = \angle RTQ = 33^{\circ} (alternate angles).
Since RS=ST|RS| = |ST|, triangle RSTRST is isosceles, so SRT=STR\angle SRT = \angle STR.
Let SRT=STR=x\angle SRT = \angle STR = x.
The sum of the angles in triangle RSTRST is 180180^{\circ}, so
TRS+SRT+STR=180\angle TRS + \angle SRT + \angle STR = 180^{\circ}
33+x+x=18033^{\circ} + x + x = 180^{\circ}
2x=180332x = 180^{\circ} - 33^{\circ}
2x=1472x = 147^{\circ}
x=1472=73.5x = \frac{147^{\circ}}{2} = 73.5^{\circ}
Therefore, SRT=STR=73.5\angle SRT = \angle STR = 73.5^{\circ}.
Since QTRSQT \parallel RS, QTR=TRS=33\angle QTR = \angle TRS = 33^{\circ} (alternate angles).
Since QOTQOT and PORPOR are straight lines, QTQT and PRPR are diameters.
Also PRQ=PTQ=90\angle PRQ = \angle PTQ = 90^{\circ} (angles in a semicircle).
QRS=QTS\angle QRS = \angle QTS.
Since QTRSQT \parallel RS, we have TQR=SRT\angle TQR = \angle SRT.
Angles in the same segment subtended by QRQR are equal.
QTS=QRS\angle QTS = \angle QRS
Also RST=x=73.5\angle RST = x = 73.5^{\circ}.
We need to find the value of RST\angle RST.
Since RS=STRS = ST, SRT=STR\angle SRT = \angle STR.
RTQ=33\angle RTQ = 33^{\circ} and since QTRSQT \parallel RS, TRS=33\angle TRS = 33^{\circ} (alternate angles).
In triangle RSTRST, TRS+SRT+STR=180\angle TRS + \angle SRT + \angle STR = 180^{\circ}.
33+SRT+SRT=18033^{\circ} + \angle SRT + \angle SRT = 180^{\circ}.
2SRT=18033=1472 \angle SRT = 180^{\circ} - 33^{\circ} = 147^{\circ}.
SRT=1472=73.5\angle SRT = \frac{147}{2} = 73.5^{\circ}.
Then RST=SRT+TRS=73.5\angle RST = \angle SRT + \angle TRS = 73.5^{\circ}.
In triangle RSTRST, we found that SRT=STR=1472=73.5\angle SRT = \angle STR = \frac{147^{\circ}}{2} = 73.5^{\circ}.
Therefore, RST=SRT=73.5\angle RST = \angle SRT = 73.5^{\circ}.

3. Final Answer

73.5 degrees
