Angle OPQ+ Angle PQO+ Angle QOP=180°.......Angle sum property of triangle
Let Angle POQ=x
Lx+Lx+90°=180°
2Lx=180°-90°
Lx=90/2
Lx=45°
Hence, LOPQ=45°.
Hope it helps mate.

_____________________
pq is tangent and Oq is radius
we know that tangent is perpendiculatr to radius
Angle Opq = 90°
Angle OPQ is isoceles
OP = PQ
Angle OQP = Angle POQ
SO,
angle Oqp = 1/2 X 90°
= 45°
