Hlo guys I need step by step solution please it's a 10 class question please help me

Answer:
angle PRQ = 120 degrees
Explanation:
Looking at the figure I can make out a few things
angle OPT = 90 degrees (OP is a radius to the tangent T)
angle QPT = 60 degrees (given)
angle OPQ = 90 - 60 = 30 degrees
angle OQP = OPQ = 30 degrees (OP = OQ, both are radii)
Now in triangle OPQ,
angle POQ = 180 - 30 - 30 = 120 degrees (angle POQ = 180 - OQP - OPQ
Now ext. angle POQ = 360 - 120 = 240 degrees
And now from Circle Theorem no. 5,
ext angle POQ = 2 x angle PRQ
240 = 2 x PRQ
thus angle PRQ = 120 degrees
good day
mark as brainliest please
Explanation:
given:- PT is a tangent to circle with centre O,also angle QPT =60°
Since we know tangent is perpendicular to radius,
THEREFORE,. ANGLE OPT =90°
SO, ANGLE QPO=30°
since OP=OQ
So,. angle OPQ = angle OQP = 30°
Therefore by angle sum property in ∆OPQ
angle POQ will be 120°
so,
reflex angle POQ = 240°
Now, we know angle subtended by major arc at centre is twice the angle subtended by end point of arc on remaining circle
so,. angle POQ = 2 × angle PRQ
i.e.
240° =2 × angle PRQ
i.e.
【angle PRQ = 120°】
