1. Problem Description

In the circle PQRPQR with center OO, we are given that OPQ=48\angle OPQ = 48^\circ. We need to find the value of mm, which represents the angle ROQ\angle ROQ.

2. Solution Steps

Since OO is the center of the circle, OPOP and OQOQ are radii of the circle. Therefore, OP=OQOP = OQ, which means that OPQ\triangle OPQ is an isosceles triangle.
In an isosceles triangle, the angles opposite the equal sides are equal. So, OQP=OPQ=48\angle OQP = \angle OPQ = 48^\circ.
The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180180^\circ. Therefore, in OPQ\triangle OPQ,
POQ+OPQ+OQP=180\angle POQ + \angle OPQ + \angle OQP = 180^\circ
POQ+48+48=180\angle POQ + 48^\circ + 48^\circ = 180^\circ
POQ+96=180\angle POQ + 96^\circ = 180^\circ
POQ=18096=84\angle POQ = 180^\circ - 96^\circ = 84^\circ
Since ROPROP is a straight line through the center of the circle, ROP=180\angle ROP = 180^\circ.
Also, ROQ+POQ=ROP\angle ROQ + \angle POQ = \angle ROP.
Therefore, ROQ=180POQ=18084=96\angle ROQ = 180^\circ - \angle POQ = 180^\circ - 84^\circ = 96^\circ.
Thus, m=96m = 96^\circ.

3. Final Answer

A. 96°
