Question on: WAEC Mathematics - 1999

In the diagram above, RST is a tangent to circle VSU center O ∠SVU = 50° and UV is a diameter. Calculate ∠RSV.

A
90°
B
50°
C
45°
D
40°
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: D

< VSU = 90° (angle in a semi-circle)

\(\therefore\) < SUV = 180° - 90° - 50°

= 40°

< RSV = 40° (angle which chord makes tangent = angle in alternate segment)
