Question 1 Report

In the diagram, the tangent MN makes an angle of 55o with the chord PS. IF O is the centre of the circle, find < RPS

Answer Details
Join SR
< PRS = 90 ? (Angle in a semicircle)
< PRS = 55 ?  (Angle between a chord and a tangent = Angle in the alternate segment)
< PSR + < PRS + < RSP = 180 ?
90v + 55 ?  + < RSP = 180 ?
< RSP = 180 ?  - 145 ?
= 35
