Question
In the given figure, PQ and PR are tangents drawn from P to the circle with centre O such that ∠QPR = 65°. The measure of ∠QOR is ______.
Options
65°
125°
115°
90°
Solution
In the given figure, PQ and PR are tangents drawn from P to the circle with centre O such that ∠QPR = 65°. The measure of ∠QOR is 115°.
Explanation:
∠QPR + ∠QOR = 180°
∴ ∠QOR = 180° – ∠QPR
= 180° – 65°
= 115°
