In figure 3.96 P is the point of contact.
(1) If m(arc PR) = 140°,∠ POR = 36°,find m(arc PQ)
(2) If OP = 7.2, OQ = 3.2,find OR and QR
(3) If OP = 7.2, OR = 16.2,find QR.

(1)Given: m(arc PR) = 140°,∠ POR = 36°
∠ ROP is an external angle.

⇒m(arc PQ) = 140° -2 × 36°
⇒m(arc PQ) = 68°
(2)Given: OP = 7.2, OQ = 3.2
Here, RO × OQ = OP2
⇒ RO × 3.2 = 7.2 × 7.2
⇒ RO = 16.2
QR = RO – OQ = 16.2 – 3.2 = 13
(3) Given: OP = 7.2, OR = 16.2
Here, RO × OQ = OP2
⇒ 16.2 × OQ = 7.2 × 7.2
⇒ OQ = 3.2
QR = RO – OQ = 16.2 – 3.2 = 13
