In the diagram above, TR = TS and ∠TRS = 60o. Find the value of x

A.

30

B.

45

C.

60

D.

120

E.

150

Correct answer is C

∠TRS = ∠RST = 60o
∠PSR + ∠PQR = 180o, 120o + xo = 180o
x = 60o

In the diagram above, O is the center of the circle and ∠POR = 126°. Find ∠PQR

A.

234o

B.

117o

C.

72o

D.

63o

E.

54o

Correct answer is B

Reflex < POR = 360° - 126° = 234°

\(\therefore\) < PQR = \(\frac{1}{2} \times 234°\)

= 117°

In the diagram above PQT is a tangent to the circle QRS at Q. Angle QTR = 48° and ∠QRT = 95°. Find ∠QRT

A.

48o

B.

45o

C.

37o

D.

32o

E.

30o

Correct answer is C

∠RQT = 180° - (95° + 48°) = 73°
∠OQR = 90° - 37° = 53°
∠QOR = 180° - (53° + 53°) = 74°
QSR = 74°/2 = 37°
