Question:

PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral. The tangents to the circle at the point P and R on it, intersect at A. If ∠PQR = 94°, then what is the measure of ∠PAR ?

Options:

18°

12°

16°

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

∠PQR + ∠PSR = 180°

94° + ∠PSR = 180°

∠PSR = 86°

∠PSR ≠ ∠PSR ≠ ∠PAR = 86° (alternate segment theorem)

In ΔPAR

∠PAR + ∠APR + ∠ARP = 180°

∠PAR + 86° + 86° = 180°

∠PAR = 8°
