In the diagram below, the line $ST$ST is tangent to circle $\bigodot O$⊙O at the point$T$T.

A circle with a center labeled $O$O and a radius $overline(OT)$overline(OT) is drawn from $O$O to a point on the circumference labeled $T$T. A tangent line $overline(ST)$overline(ST) is drawn from point $T$T to a point outside the circumference, $S$S. angle(OTS) is the angle formed by the radius $overline(OT)$overline(OT) and the tangent line $overline(ST$overline(ST). A line segment $overline(OS)$overline(OS) connects point $S$S and $O$O. $\angle OST$∠OST measures $31^\circ$31°. $\angle SOT$∠SOT is labeled as "$\left(a\right)$(a)"

Find the value of $a$a.
