Question

In figure, PQ and PR are tangents to the circle with center O and S is a point on the circle such that $∠$ SQL =50 degree and $∠ S R M$ =60 degree. Find $∠$ QSR.

Open in App

Solution

Here $∠ O S Q = ∠ O Q S = 90^{o} - 50^{o} = 40^{o}$ and $∠ R S Q = ∠ S R O = 90^{o} - 60^{o} = 30^{o}$ .
$∠ Q S R = 40^{o} + 30^{o} = 70^{o}$ .
