In the given figure, PQ is a chord of a circle with centre O and PT is tangent. If ∠QPT = 60o, find ∠ PRQ.


PQ is the chord of the circle and PT is tangent.

We know that the tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact.

∴ ∠ OPT = 90o

Now, Given

∠ QPT = 60o 

∴ ∠ OPQ = ∠OPT - ∠QPT

 ⇒ ∠ OPQ = 90o - 60o = 30o

In Δ OPQ,

OP= OR (Radii of the same circle)

∠ OQP = ∠ OPQ = 30o (in a triangle, equal sides have equal angles opposite to them.)

Now,

∠ OQP + ∠OPQ + ∠POQ = 180o [Angle sum property]

⇒ 30o + 30o + ∠POQ = 180o 

⇒ ∠POQ = 180o - 60o = 120o

⇒ Reflex ∠POQ = 360o -120o = 240o

We know that the angle subtended by an arc of a circle at the centre is twice the angle subtended by it any point on the remaining part of the circle.

Therefore,

Reflex ∠POQ = 2 ∠PRQ

⇒ 240o = 2 ∠PRQ

⇒ ∠PRQ = 240 / 2 = 120o 

Hence, the measure of angle PRQ is 120o.
