In the diagram, O is the centre of the circle, PQ and RS are tangents to the circle. Find the value of (m deg + n deg).
- A. 120 deg
- B. 90 degCorrect
- C. 75 deg
- D. 60 deg
Explanation
Since PQ is a tangent, it makes a 90 deg angle with the radius at the point of contact; similarly for RS. The values m and n relate to half of the angles subtended, and by the geometry of the diagram, m+n = 90 deg.
