Answer:
angle ATQ= 61 degree
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the angle subtended by an arc of a circle at the center is twice the angle suntended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.
angle AOQ=2angleABQ
angleABQ=1/2angleAOQ
angleABQ=1/2*58degree
angleABQ=29degree
or
angle ABT=29degree
We know that the radius is perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact.
angle OAT=90degree(OA is perpendicular to AT)
or
angleBAT=90degree
Now in BAT
angleBAT+angleABT+angleATB=180degree
90degree+29degree+angleATB=180degree
119degree +angleATB=180degree
angleATB=180degree-119degree
angleATB=61degree
therefore, angleATQ=61degree
