P R and S lie on a circle centre O as shown in ... - JAMB Mathematics 2004 Question

P, R and S lie on a circle centre O as shown in the diagram while Q lies outside the circle. Find < PSO
A
35o
B
40o
C
45o
D
55o
correct option: a
< PRS = 20o + 35o = 55o

< POS = 2 < PRS

2 x 55o = 10o

< OPS = < PSO = x

In \(\bigtriangleup\)POS

OP = OS(radii)

\(\bigtriangleup\)POS is an isosceles

2x + 110o = 180o

2x = 180o - 110o = 70o

x = \(\frac{70^o}{2}\)

= 35o
