in figure pq and pr are two tangents to a circle with centre o. if angle QPR=80° then find angle QOR
Answers
Answer:
angle QOR =100°
Step-by-step explanation:
angle QOR+QPR=180°
angle QOR+80°=180
angle QOR =180°-80°
angle QOR=80°
Answer:
the required angle of ∠QOR is 100°
Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation:
Given , PQ and PR are two tangents to a circle with centre O
and ∠QPR = 80°
OQ=OR (radius of circle )
As we know , the radius from the centre of the circle to the point of tangency is perpendicular to the tangent line .
So , OQ is perpendicular to the tangent PQ at Q.
⇒ ∠OQP = 90 °
Similarly , OR is perpendicular to the tangent PR at R .
⇒ ∠ORP = 90 °
Step 1:
OQPR is a quadrilateral .
Therefore , ∠OQP+∠QPR+∠PRO+∠ROQ = 360
Sum of angle of a quadrilateral is 360°
90 + 80 +90 +∠ROQ = 360
⇒260 +∠ROQ = 360
⇒∠ROQ = 360 - 260 = 100°
∠ROQ = ∠QOR = 100
Final answer :
Hence , the angle ∠QOR is 100°.
