Q.Two tangents are drawn to a circle from points P and Q, and they intersect at point A. If ∠PAQ = 80°, then what is the value of ∠APQ?

Since the lengths of the tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal, \(\therefore\) in triangle APQ, AP = AQ \(\therefore \angle\)APQ = \(\angle\)PQA \(\therefore \angle\)APQ = \(\frac{180^\circ - 80^\circ}{2} = 50^\circ\)
