We are given a circle with center at some point. We have a triangle $\triangle RST$ inscribed in the circle. The segments $RS$ and $TS$ are congruent because they are both radii of the circle. The angle at $T$ is $58^{\circ}$, and we are asked to find the angle at $R$, which is $x^{\circ}$.

1. Problem Description

We are given a circle with center at some point. We have a triangle RST\triangle RST inscribed in the circle. The segments RSRS and TSTS are congruent because they are both radii of the circle. The angle at TT is 5858^{\circ}, and we are asked to find the angle at RR, which is xx^{\circ}.

2. Solution Steps

Since RS=TSRS = TS, the triangle RST\triangle RST is an isosceles triangle. Therefore, the angles opposite to the equal sides are equal, which means SRT=STR\angle SRT = \angle STR.
We are given that STR=58\angle STR = 58^{\circ}. Thus, SRT=x=58\angle SRT = x^{\circ} = 58^{\circ}.
The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180180^{\circ}. Therefore, SRT+STR+RST=180\angle SRT + \angle STR + \angle RST = 180^{\circ}.
So, 58+58+RST=18058^{\circ} + 58^{\circ} + \angle RST = 180^{\circ}.
116+RST=180116^{\circ} + \angle RST = 180^{\circ}.
RST=180116=64\angle RST = 180^{\circ} - 116^{\circ} = 64^{\circ}.
However, we are looking for the value of xx, which is the measure of SRT\angle SRT. Since the triangle is isosceles with RS=TSRS = TS, the base angles are congruent: SRT=STR\angle SRT = \angle STR. We are given STR=58\angle STR = 58^{\circ}, so x=58x = 58.

3. Final Answer

x=58x = 58
