1. Problem Description
We are given a circle with tangents and drawn from point . Point is on the circle. We are given that and . We are asked to find the value of and the measure of angle .
2. Solution Steps
Since and are tangent to the circle, and subtend the same arc, thus . Therefore, triangle is isosceles.
Since is tangent to the circle at , the inscribed angle is equal to the angle between the tangent and the chord . So, .
Therefore, .
Also, .
The sum of angles in triangle is 180 degrees. So,
However, we are given that .
Consider the quadrilateral formed by as the center of the circle.
Since tangents are perpendicular to the radius, and .
In quadrilateral ,
since the angle at the center is twice the angle at the circumference.
