answer is 120
Step-by-step explanation:
given :PT is a tangent so ∠OPT=90
∠QPT =60
∠OPQ = ∠OPT-∠QPT
∠OPQ=90-60
∠OPQ=30
∠OPQ+∠OQP+POQ=180 (ANGLE SUM PROPERTY)
∠POQ=180-30-30
∠POQ=120
Angle OPQ= angle OQP = 30° ie.,
Angle POQ= 120°. Also, angle PRQ= ½ reflex angle POQ.
∠PRQ=1/2(360-120)
∠PRQ=240/2
∠PRQ=120
