Step-by-step explanation:
Given- PQ is a tangent to a circle with centre O at Q. QOR is a diameter of the given circle so that ∠POR=120
o
. To find out- ∠OPQ=?
Solution- QOR is a diameter.
∴OQ is a radius through the point of contact Q of the tangent PQ. ∴∠OQP=90
o
since the radius through the point of contact of a tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the tangent.∴∠OPQ+∠OQP=120
o
(external angles of a triangle=sum of the internal opposite angles )
∴∠OPQ=120
o
−90
o
=30
o
