tangent to the circle = RQ
radius at point of contact Q = PQ

∴ PQ⊥RQ 
∠PQR = 90°   --------- (1)
 
QA || RP and PQ is the transverse.
∠2 = ∠3        --------- (2)   (Alternate interior angles)
 
But, PQ = PA 
∴ In ∆PQA, ∠3 = ∠4 ------- (3) (Angles opposite to equal sides are equal)
 
From (2) and (3) we get
 ∠2 = ∠3 = ∠4
 
The angles at the center P are ∠BPQ and ∠BAQ 
∴ ∠BPQ = 2 ∠BAQ
∠1 + ∠2 = 2∠4
∠1 + ∠2 = ∠4 + ∠4
as ∠2 = ∠4
∠1 = ∠4 
So, ∠1 = ∠2 = ∠3 = ∠4
⇒ ∠1 = ∠2
 
In ∆BPR and ∆RPQ,
BP = PQ (radii of the circle)
∠1 = ∠2
RP = RP (common)
∴ ∆BPR ≅ ∆QPR (SAS congruency)
⇒ ∠PBR = ∠PQR (corresponding angles)

But ∠PBR = 90° from equation (1)

i.e., PB ⊥ BR
Therefore, RB is a tangent to the circle at point B.

In right ΔOSP

By Pythagoras theorem

OP² = OS² + PS² 

r² = (r/2)² + PS²

PS² = r² – (r/2)² 

= 3r²/4

so, PS = (√3r/2)

 PR = 2PS = √3r

area of rhombus = 1/2 x d₁ x d₂

area of rhombus OPQR = 1/2 x OQ x PR

32√3 = 1/2 x r x √3r

32 = 1/2 r²

r² = 64

r = 8

Area of circle = πr² 

= 22/7 x 8²

= 201. 14 sq cm
