### Geometry: Measuring Minor Arcs

#### Problem 3:

Find the measure of the minor arc \( RT \).

Below the problem statement, there is an illustration of a circle. The circle contains the points \( R \), \( T \), and \( S \) positioned on its circumference. The figure displays several key features:

1. **Central Angle**:
    - The angle \( \angle RST \) at point \( S \) measures \( 69^\circ \).

2. **Minor Arc**:
    - The minor arc \( RT \) is associated with the angle \( \angle RST \).

To determine the measure of the minor arc \( RT \), observe that the measure of an arc corresponing to a central angle in a circle is equal to the measure of that angle. Thus, the measure of minor arc \( RT \) is \( 69^\circ \).
