In the diagram, POQ is a diameter, 0 is the centre of the circle and TP is a tangent. Find the value of x
30o
40o
45o
50o

Explanation

From the diagram, POQ is a diameter; o is the centre of the circle and TP is a tangent where RTP = 30o

RTP = RQP = x(at circumference = made by tangent outside the circle) i.e x = 30o
