O is the centre of the circle and <PQR = 110 degree. Then <OPR egual to :
(A) 55 degree
(B) 20degree
(C) 40 degree
(D) 70 degree
Please answer fast. :(
We know that, the angle subtended by an arc of a circle at the centre is double the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.
∴ Reflex ∠ROP = 2 × ∠PQR
⇒ Reflex ∠ROP = 2 × 110° = 220°
⇒ ∠ROP = 360° – Reflex ∠ROP = 360° – 220° = 140°
In ΔROP,
OP = OR (Radius of the circle)
⇒ ∠ORP = ∠OPR (Equal sides have equal angles opposite to them)
∠ORP + ∠OPR + ∠ROP = 180° (Angle sum property)
∴ 2∠OPR + 140° = 180°
⇒ 2∠OPR = 180° – 140°
⇒ 2∠OPR = 40°
⇒ ∠OPR = 20°
Thus, the measure of ∠OPR is 20°.
