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
< 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
