Question:

In the given figure, XY is diameter of the circle with center O, and PQ is tangent at a point Z> If ∠XZP = 55º, then what is the value (in degree) of ∠ZXY?

Options:

35º

55º

45º

50º

Correct Answer:

35º

Explanation:

∠XYZ = ∠XZP = 55º

∠XZY = 90º (angle made by diameter)

In ΔXYZ

∠X + ∠Z + ∠Y = 180º

∠X + 55º + 90º = 180º

∠X = 35º
