    1. ∠RTP
      ∠RQT= 180º - 100º= 80º – opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral QRST are supplementary
      ∠TQP=∠UPT= 28º – angle between a chord and a tangent is equal to the angle subtended by the same chord on the circumference of the alternate segment.
      ∠RQP= 80º + 28º=108º
      Hence
      ∠RTP= 180º- 108º= 72º – opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral QRTP are supplementary
    2. Join O to Q and consider ∠RQO
      ∠RQO= 50º – base angles of isosceles ΔRQO
      ∠ROQ= 180º -2× 50º = 80º  – sum of angles in ΔRQO is 180º
      ∠RTQ=1/2× 80º = 40º – angle at the centre is twice angle at the circumference

      Hence
      ∠QTP= 72º - 40º = 32º
  2. Consider
    ∠QPT= 180º - 28º + 32º = 120º
    ∠TQO= 80º - 50º = 30º
    In ΔQPT
    6/sin 32º  =QT/sin⁡ 120º
    QT=(6 sin⁡ 120º )/sin⁡ 32º =9.806

    V={240(120-2x)-2x(120-2x)}x
    V=(4x2-720x+28800)x
    V= 4x3-720x2+28800x

    dV/dx=12x2-1440x+28800

    For maximum volume
    12x2-1440x+28800=0→x2-120x+2400=0
    x=(-(-120)±√((-120)2-4×2400))/2
    x=(120±√4800)/2
    x=(120±69.28)/2

    Either
    x=(120+69.28)/2=94.64≅95

    And
    x=(120-69.28)/2=25.36≈25

    Hence x=25
  3. Mass of empty box
    External dimensions
    (240-2×25) cm by (120-2×25) cm by 25 cm
    190 cm by 70 cm by 25 cm

    Internal dimensions
    188 cm by 68 cm by 24 cm
    V=(190×70×25)-(188×68×24)
    V=332500-306816=25684
    Mass=25684
