Question 1 Report

In the diagram, PTS is a tangent to the circle TQR at T. Calculate < RTS

Answer Details
RTS = RQT (angle between a tangent and a chord at the point of contact is equal to the angle in the alternate segment) But R = Q + T = 180

RQT = 180 ?  - (50 + 60)

= 180 ?  - 110 ?

= 70 ?

Since RQT = RTS = 70
