1. Problem Description

The problem consists of two parts. Part (a) asks to find the measures of angle QA^BQ\hat{A}B and angle BA^RB\hat{A}R given that the angle between line PQPQ and the line AQAQ is 6363^{\circ}. Part (b) asks for the special name of the cyclic quadrilateral AQBRAQBR.

2. Solution Steps

(a) (i) To find angle QA^BQ\hat{A}B:
Since the line PQPQ is a tangent to the circle at point QQ, the angle between the tangent and the chord AQAQ is equal to the angle in the alternate segment, which is the angle QB^AQ\hat{B}A. Thus, QB^A=63Q\hat{B}A = 63^{\circ}.
Also, OA=OB=OQOA = OB = OQ because they are radii of the circle. Since OA=OQOA=OQ, triangle OAQOAQ is an isosceles triangle. Also, angle OQA=63OQA = 63^{\circ}. Then angle QAO=OQA=63QAO = OQA = 63^{\circ}.
Then QA^O=63Q\hat{A}O = 63^{\circ}.
Angle AO^Q=1806363=54A\hat{O}Q = 180^{\circ} - 63^{\circ} - 63^{\circ} = 54^{\circ}.
The angle AO^BA\hat{O}B is a straight line because ABAB is a diameter of the circle.
Then AO^B=180A\hat{O}B = 180^{\circ}. Also, the angle subtended at the center is twice the angle subtended at the circumference. Therefore, AO^B=2×AQ^BA\hat{O}B = 2 \times A\hat{Q}B.
180=2×AQ^B180^{\circ} = 2 \times A\hat{Q}B, which implies that AQ^B=90A\hat{Q}B = 90^{\circ}.
Now we know AQ^B=AQ^O+OQ^BA\hat{Q}B = A\hat{Q}O + O\hat{Q}B. 90=63+OQ^B90^{\circ} = 63^{\circ} + O\hat{Q}B, so OQ^B=9063=27O\hat{Q}B = 90^{\circ} - 63^{\circ} = 27^{\circ}.
In triangle OBQOBQ, since OB=OQOB = OQ, then OB^Q=OQ^B=27O\hat{B}Q = O\hat{Q}B = 27^{\circ}.
So, QB^A=63Q\hat{B}A = 63^{\circ}. OB^Q=27O\hat{B}Q = 27^{\circ}. So, OB^A+OB^Q=63O\hat{B}A + O\hat{B}Q = 63^{\circ}. Therefore, OB^A=6327=36O\hat{B}A = 63^{\circ} - 27^{\circ} = 36^{\circ}.
Since OA=OBOA = OB, then OA^B=OB^A=36O\hat{A}B = O\hat{B}A = 36^{\circ}.
Finally, QA^B=QA^O+OA^B=63+36=99Q\hat{A}B = Q\hat{A}O + O\hat{A}B = 63^{\circ} + 36^{\circ} = 99^{\circ}.
(a) (ii) To find angle BA^RB\hat{A}R:
ABRSABRS is a straight line because ABAB is the diameter of the circle and RSRS is tangent to the circle at point RR.
BR^SB\hat{R}S is equal to BA^RB\hat{A}R.
The measure of AB^RA\hat{B}R is 9090^{\circ} since it is subtended by the diameter.
ARBSARBS is a cyclic quadrilateral. So AB^R+AS^R=180A\hat{B}R+A\hat{S}R = 180^{\circ}. Also, BA^R+BS^R=180B\hat{A}R+B\hat{S}R = 180^{\circ}.
OA^B=OB^A=36O\hat{A}B = O\hat{B}A = 36^{\circ}.
Also, OA^R=OR^AO\hat{A}R = O\hat{R}A.
We have AO^R=2AB^RA\hat{O}R = 2 A\hat{B}R. RB^A=RQ^AR\hat{B}A = R\hat{Q}A.
ABAB is the diameter of the circle. ARBSARBS is not necessarily cyclic quadrilateral because ABAB and RSRS are parallel to each other.
BR^S=BA^RB\hat{R}S = B\hat{A}R.
Since RSRS is tangent to the circle at RR, OR^S=90O\hat{R}S = 90^{\circ}.
OR^A+BR^O=90O\hat{R}A + B\hat{R}O = 90^{\circ}.
Since OB=OROB = OR, triangle OBROBR is an isosceles triangle. Therefore OB^R=OR^BO\hat{B}R = O\hat{R}B.
AO^BA\hat{O}B is a straight line and thus 180180^{\circ}. AO^B=AO^R+RO^BA\hat{O}B = A\hat{O}R + R\hat{O}B.
We have 2(AB^R)=AO^R2(A\hat{B}R) = A\hat{O}R and 2(AQ^R)=AO^R2(A\hat{Q}R) = A\hat{O}R.
AB^R=12AO^RA\hat{B}R = \frac{1}{2}A\hat{O}R.
Also AB^O=36A\hat{B}O = 36^{\circ}.
If AOBAOB is a straight line, then AOB=180AOB = 180^{\circ}.
If AQBRAQBR is an isosceles trapezoid, then AQBRAQ || BR. Then QA^B=AB^R=99Q\hat{A}B = A\hat{B}R = 99^{\circ}.
Then OB^R=36O\hat{B}R = 36^{\circ}, which implies BA^R=27B\hat{A}R = 27^{\circ} and 9036=5490 -36=54.
Since RSRS is parallel to ABAB, then OR^S=90O\hat{R}S = 90.
Also AO^B=180A\hat{O}B = 180^{\circ}. Then ROB=18054=126\angle ROB=180-54 = 126, and OB^R=OR^B=27O\hat{B}R = O\hat{R}B = 27. Therefore, BA^R=27B\hat{A}R = 27^{\circ}.
(b) The cyclic quadrilateral AQBRAQBR is an isosceles trapezoid because AQBRAQ || BR.

3. Final Answer

(a) (i) QA^B=99Q\hat{A}B = 99^{\circ}
(ii) BA^R=27B\hat{A}R = 27^{\circ}
(b) Isosceles Trapezoid
