In the diagram, O is the centre of the circle. If SOQ is a diameter and < PRS is 38
o, what is the value of < PSQ
-
A.
148o
-
B.
104o
-
C.
80o
-
D.
52o
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
< SRP = < SQP = 38o (angle in the same segment of a circle are equal)
But < SPQ = 90o (angle in a semicircle)
also < PSQ + < SQP + < SPQ = 180o (angles in a triangle = 180o)
< PSQ + 38o + 90o = 190o
< PSQ = 128o = 180o
PSQ = 180o - 128o
PSQ = 52o
