The angle between two radii OA and OB of a circle is 130°. Then theangle between the two tangents drawn at the points A and B is​

Answer»

Step-by-step explanation:

PA and PB are tangents drawn from an external point P to the circle.

∠OAP=∠OBP=90

∘

(Radius is PERPENDICULAR to the tangent at point of contact)

In QUADRILATERAL OAPB,

∠APB+∠OAB+∠AOB+∠OBP=360

∘

35

∘

+90

∘

+∠AOB+90

∘

=360

∘

215

∘

+∠AOB = 360

∘

∠AOB=360

∘

–280

∘

=145

∘

Thus, the angle between the two RADII, OA and OB is 145
