Question on: WAEC Mathematics - 2014

In the figures, PQ is a tangent to the circle at R and UT is parallel to PQ. if < TRQ = xo, find < URT in terms of x

A
2xo
B
(90 - x)o
C
(90 + x)o
D
(180 - 2x)o
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: D

< URT = < TRQ (angle alternate a tangent and a chord equal to angle in the alternate segment)

< RUT = xo

In (\bigtriangleup) URT

< RUT + < RUT + < UTR = 180o (sum of int. < s of (\bigtriangleup))

< URT + x + x = 180o

< URT = 180o - 2x
