The construction portrayed in the graphic is that of the construction of an angle bisector. Recall that all points on an angle bisector are equidistant from the sides of the angle. <POS and <SOQ have the same measure - they are congruent angles. Therefore, the measure of angle POQ is twice the measure of angle POS. @jessie04

Measure of angle POS is 20 degrees, measure of angle POQ is 40 degrees Submitted and verified by FLVS for Geometry.
