Q3 of 40 Page 1

In the given figure, if TP and TQ are tangents to a circle with centre O, so that POQ = 110°, then PTQ is


It is given that POQ = 110°


Since, the tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact,


OPT = 90° and OQT = 90°


Now, in quadrilateral POQT,


POQ + OQT + PTQ + OPT = 360°


110° + 90° + PTQ + 90° = 360°


PTQ = 70°
