Step 1: Identify given information and make an assumption.
Given that and are tangents to a circle with center at points and respectively.
The diagram shows . The text states . We will assume that in the text refers to as depicted in the diagram.
i) Calculate
and are radii of the same circle, so .
Therefore, is an isosceles triangle.
In an isosceles triangle, the angles opposite the equal sides are equal.
From the diagram, .
Reason: Base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal.
ii) Calculate
The sum of angles in a triangle is . In :
Substitute the known values:
Reason: Sum of angles in a triangle is .
iii) Calculate
is the angle subtended by arc at the circumference.
is the angle subtended by the same arc at the center.
The angle at the center is twice the angle at the circumference subtended by the same arc.
Substitute the value of :
Reason: Angle at the center is twice the angle at the circumference.
iv) Calculate
is a radius and is a tangent at point . A radius is perpendicular to the tangent at the point of tangency.
Similarly, is a radius and is a tangent at point .
Consider the quadrilateral . The sum of interior angles in a quadrilateral is .
Substitute the known values:
Reason: Radius is perpendicular to tangent at the point of contact. Sum of angles in a quadrilateral is .
Final Answers:
