In the diagram, the tangent MN makes an angle of 55o with the chord PS. IF O is the centre of the circle, find < RPS

A
55o
B
45o
C
35o
D
25o
Ask EduPadi AI for a Detailed Answer
Correct Option: C

Join SR

< PRS = 90o(Angle in a semicircle)

< PRS = 55o (Angle between a chord and a tangent = Angle in the alternate segment)

< PSR + < PRS + < RSP = 180o

90v + 55o + < RSp = 180o

< RSP = 180o - 145o

= 35o
