The situation described seems to be impossible.

Explanation:

The ambiguity in my response is based on the 4 non-displayable characters following "mRQS".

If I ignore these characters so the question claims #/_RQS=290^@#
then the situation is impossible. If #QS# is a diameter then for any point #R# on the circumference, #/_QRS = 90^@#; but combined with #/_RQS=290^@# this implies that the interior angles of such a triangle exceed #360^@#

#m/_ROS=70^@#

Explanation:

#m/_RQS=290^@# means that the arc #hat(RQS)# subtends an angle of #290^@# at the centre.

As the complete circle is #360^@#

#/_ROS# is #360^@-290^@=70^@#
