easy · MCQ · Q-1E1E7A
If TP and TQ are the two tangents to a circle with centre O so that , then is equal to:
- A.
- B.Correct answer
- C.
- D.
Solution
The angle between the two tangents from an external point and the angle subtended by the line segments joining the points of contact at the centre are supplementary. Therefore, . Substituting , we get .
