Answer: 50 I guess
Step-by-step explanation: it is an isosceles triangle as the tangents will be equal
So angle A and Angle B are equal and 50 degrees

As we know, tagents from an exeternal point are equal
=> TA = TB
Angles opposite to equal sides are equal,
=> ∠TAB = ∠TBA
Now, let ∠TBA be x
In triangle TAB
∠TAB+∠TBA+∠ATB = 180° [ Angle sum property of a triangle]
Substuting the angles we get
x + x + 80 = 180
2x + 80 = 180
2x = 100
x = 80°
