From image it is Given that :-
- O is the centre of a circle to which a pair of tangents PQ and PR from a point P touch the circle at Q and R respectively.
- ∠RPQ = 35°
To Find :-
- ∠ROQ = ?
Solution :-
we have given that,
→ ∠RPQ = 35°
and,
→ ∠OQP = ∠ORP = 90° { The angle between a tangent to a circle and the radius of the same circle passing through the point of contact is 90°} .
Therefore,
→ ∠RPQ + ∠OQP + ∠ORP + ∠ROQ = 360° {By Angle Sum Property of Quadrilaterals.}
→ 35° + 90° + 90° + ∠ROQ = 360°
→ 215° + ∠ROQ = 360°
→ ∠ROQ = 360° - 215°
→ ∠ROQ = 145° (Ans.)
Hence, The angle between radius is 145° .

145°
Step-by-step explanation:
its simple...just subtract 35 from 180
180-35
=145
