Step-by-step solution
12 stepsHere's a step-by-step calculation for each angle:
Given information:
- PQR is a tangent to the circle at Q.
- RST is a straight line.
a) (i) Angle TSQ
Find .
is the sum of and .
Reason: Angles on a straight line (if U is on TW) or Angle addition.
Find .
By the Alternate Segment Theorem, the angle between the tangent PQR and the chord QS () is equal to the angle subtended by the chord QS in the alternate segment ().
Reason: Alternate Segment Theorem.
Find .
Consider . The sum of angles in a triangle is .
Since S is on the line RST, .
Reason: Sum of angles in a triangle.
The angle TSQ is .a) (ii) Angle TSW
Find .
Angles subtended by the same arc are equal. and are both subtended by arc QU.
Reason: Angles subtended by the same arc.
Find .
Since S is on the line RST, .
Reason: Angle subtraction.
Find .
Angles subtended by the same arc are equal. and are both subtended by arc TU.
Reason: Angles subtended by the same arc.
Find .
Angles subtended by the same arc are equal. and are both subtended by arc UW.
Reason: Angles subtended by the same arc.
Find .
is the sum of and .
Reason: Angle addition.
Find .
Angles subtended by the same arc are equal. and are both subtended by arc TW.
Reason: Angles subtended by the same arc.
The angle TSW is .a) (iii) Angle TUQ
Find .
By the Alternate Segment Theorem, the angle between the tangent PQR and the chord QT () is equal to the angle subtended by the chord QT in the alternate segment ().
First, find .
. We found in part (i).
So, .
Therefore, .
Reason: Alternate Segment Theorem.Find .
