उत्तर
In figure, if O is the centre of a circle PQ is a chord and the tangent PR at P makes an angle of 50° with PQ, then ∠POQ is equal to 100°.
Explanation:
OP ⊥ PR ...[Tangent and radius are ⊥ to each other at the point of contact]
∠OPQ = 90° – 50° = 40°
OP = OQ ...[Radii]
∴ ∠OPQ = ∠OQP = 40°
In ∆OPQ,
⇒ ∠POQ + ∠OPQ + ∠OQP = 180°
⇒ ∠POQ + 40° + 40° = 180°
∠POQ = 180° – 80° = 100°.
