In the figure, if ∠APO = 40°, find ∠AOB


 

Dear Student,


Since tangent at point of contact with circle is perpendicular to radiusPAO=PBO=90also if two tangents are drawn to circle from external point, then they are equally inclined to segment joining centre to the pointAPO=BPO=40Also APB=APO+BPOAPB=80Now AOBP is quadrilateralsum of all angles of quadrilateral is 360PAO+PBO+AOB+APB=36090+90+AOB+80=360AOB=360-180-80AOB=100
