Let's analyze and solve each part of the problem based on the provided information.

Given dataLet's analyze and solve each part of the problem based on the provided information.

Given 
1. \( QOT \) is a diameter of the circle.
2. \( \angle QTP = 46^\circ \).
3. \( \angle TQR = 75^\circ \).
4. \( SRT = 38^\circ \).
5. \( PTU \) and \( RSU \) are straight lines.

We need to calculate the following angles:

### Part a. \( \angle RST \)
Since \( SRT \) is a straight line, \( \angle RST = 38^\circ \) (given directly in the question).

**Answer:** 
- \( \angle RST = 38^\circ \)

**Reason:** Given directly in the problem.

---

### Part b. \( \angle SUT \)
Since \( PTU \) and \( RSU \) are straight lines, \( \angle SUT \) is an exterior angle of triangle \( SRT \). In triangles, the exterior angle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles. Therefore,
\[
\angle SUT = \angle RST + \angle TQR
\]
Substitute the given values:
\[
\angle SUT = 38^\circ + 75^\circ = 113^\circ
\]

**Answer:** 
- \( \angle SUT = 113^\circ \)

**Reason:** Exterior angle of triangle \( SRT \).

---

### Part c. \( \angle PST \)
Since \( PQOT \) is a cyclic quadrilateral (formed by points \( P, Q, O, \) and \( T \)), opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary. Therefore,
\[
\angle PST + \angle QTP = 180^\circ
\]
Given \( \angle QTP = 46^\circ \), we find \( \angle PST \) by:
\[
\angle PST = 180^\circ - 46^\circ = 134^\circ
\]

**Answer:** 
- \( \angle PST = 134^\circ \)

**Reason:** Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary.

---

### Part d. Obtuse \( \angle ROT \)
Since \( QOT \) is a diameter, any angle subtended by a diameter at the circumference is a right angle (90°) by the angle in a semicircle property. Thus, \( \angle ROT \) is obtuse and it is exactly \( 180^\circ - 90^\circ = 90^\circ \).

**Answer:** 
- Obtuse \( \angle ROT = 90^\circ \)

**Reason:** Angle subtended by a diameter at the circumference of a circle.

---

### Part e. \( \angle SQT \)
\( \angle SQT \) can be found using the following observation: Since \( PQOT \) is a cyclic quadrilateral, we have \( \angle SQT \) equal to \( \angle PST \) (since opposite angles are supplementary in a cyclic quadrilateral).

Thus:
\[
\angle SQT = 46^\circ
\]

**Answer:**
- \( \angle SQT = 46^\circ \)

**Reason:** Angle in the same segment. \( \angle SQT = \angle QTP \).

---

### Follow-up Questions:
1. How do properties of cyclic quadrilaterals help in angle calculations?
2. Why is the angle subtended by a diameter always 90°?
3. How can we use straight-line properties to find unknown angles?
4. What is the importance of exterior angles in a triangle?
5. How are supplementary angles used in circle-related problems?

### Tip:
Remember that angles subtended by the same chord in a circle are equal when they are on the same side of the chord. This property is useful in solving circle geometry problems.
