O is the center of circle angle PSQ=30 degree find angle APQ

  • -2
Angle APQ is also 30 degree. As the angle by chord with tangent is equal to the angle made by chord in opp segment.
  • 1
according angle segment theorem:
angle between a tangent and a chord is equal to the angle in the alternate segment.
therefore,​
angle PSQ=angle APQ=30
  • -1
Angle QPS=90o [Angle in a semi-circle=90o
                                              OR
                             Angle subtended by diameter on the circumference of a circle=90o]
90o+30o+Angle PQS=180o [Angle sum property of triangle]
Angle PQS=180o-120o=60o
Join OP. [Construction]
OQ=OP [radius]
Angle OQP=Angle OPQ=60o [Angle opposite to equal sides are equal]
Angle APO=90o [radius is perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact]
60o+Angle APQ=90o
Angle APQ=90o-60o=30o
Hope it helps!
