in figure O is the centre of a circle PQ is a chord and the tangent PR at P makes an angel of 50 degree with PQ find angle POQ
Answers
Answer:
100 degree
Step-by-step explanation:
angle OPQ=90-50=40(tangent in contact with radius)
angleOQP=ANGLE OPQ =40 DEGREE(ISOCELES THEOREM)
BY ANGLE SUM PROPERTY
ANGLE POQ=100 DEGREE

Answer:
answer is angle POQ= 100°
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that radius is perpendicular to a tangent.
angleOPR = 90°
angleOPQ + angleQPR = 90°
angleOPQ + 50° = 90°
[ angleQPR is given]
angleOPQ = 40°
OP = OQ
[ radii of a circle]
angleOPQ=angleOQP=40°
[base angles of equal sides are equal]
In triangle POQ
angleOQP + anglePOQ + angleOPQ = 180°
[angle sum property of traingle]
40° + anglePOQ + 40° = 180°
anglePOQ + 80° = 180°
anglePOQ = 180° - 80°
anglePOQ = 100°
