In a circle with centre O, PQ and QR are two chords such that ∠ PQR = 118°. What is the measure of ∠ OPR ? |

28° |
Let P and R meet at point S on the major segment of the circle Now, PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral So, \(\angle\)PSR + \(\angle\)PQR = \({180}^\circ\) ⇒ \(\angle\)PSR + \({118}^\circ\) = \({180}^\circ\) ⇒ \(\angle\)PSR = \({180}^\circ\) - \({118}^\circ\) ⇒ \(\angle\)PSR = \({62}^\circ\) Now, \(\angle\)POR = \({124}^\circ\) OP = OR = radius of the circle So, \(\angle\)OPR = (\({180}^\circ\) - \({124}^\circ\))/2 ⇒ \(\angle\)OPR = \({56}^\circ\)/2 ⇒ \(\angle\)OPR = \({28}^\circ\) Therefore, \(\angle\)OPR is \({28}^\circ\). |
