PA and PB are tangents to a circle with centre O and ∠APB = 50°. Find ∠OAB.

Class 10Tangent Lengths and IncirclesGeometry
  • A65°
  • B25°
  • C40°
  • D50°

Step-by-Step Solution

∠AOB = 180° − 50° = 130°. Triangle OAB is isosceles (OA = OB), so ∠OAB = (180° − 130°)/2 = 25°. (Equivalently ∠PAB = 65° and ∠OAB = 90° − 65°.)
Answer: B) 25°
