Given :  PQ and PR are tangents to circle with Centre O such that  ∠QPR = 70°  

To Find : ∠OQR

Solution:

PQ and PR are tangents to circle with Centre O

=> ∠OQP = 90°

   ∠ORP  = 90°

 

 ∠QPR = 70°

in ΔQPR

PQ = PR   Tangent

=> ∠RQP = ∠QPR

∠RQP + ∠QPR +   ∠QPR = 180°

=> 2 ∠RQP  +  70°  = 180°

=>  2 ∠RQP  = 110°

=> ∠RQP  = 55°

∠OQP = 90°

∠OQP =  ∠OQR + ∠RQP

=> 90° =  ∠OQR +55°

=>  ∠OQR = 35°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given PQ and PR are tangents to circle with Centre O such that QPR=70 degree then OQR is

  • Angle QOR = 2 x angle QPR
  •                    = 2 x 70
  •                   = 140 degrees
  • Since both are radii we have OQ = OR
  • So OQR is an isosceles triangle.
  • Let OQR = ORQ = m
  • Since the sum of all the angles of the triangle OQR is 180 degree we get
  • So m + m + 140 = 180
  •    2m + 140 = 180
  •    2m = 180 – 140
  •    2m = 40
  •    Or m = 40 / 2
  •    Or m = 20 degree
  •     So OQR = 20 degree
