    Measure of arc PQR is 190°

    Step-by-step explanation:

    First have a sketch of the quadrilateral PQRS inside a circle

    You should notice that the intercepted angle is ∠PSR

    You should remember that the intercepted arc PQR is twice the intercepted angle ∠PSR

    Find the intercepted angle ∠PSR

    Remember that in a quadrilateral opposite angles add up to 180°

    Hence;

    ∠PQR+∠PSR=180°

    85 + ∠PSR=180°

    ∠PSR=180°-85°=95°

    Find arc PQR

    Arc PQR = 2*∠PSR

    Arc PQR=2*95°

    =190°
