Question 43:
In the diagram, is the center of the circle. and are tangents to the circle.
The angle between the two tangents is given as .
The angle at the center subtended by the points of tangency is .
A property of circles states that the angle between two tangents drawn from an external point to a circle and the angle subtended by the line segment joining the points of contact at the center are supplementary.
Therefore, .
Given , we can find $n^\circ
