In the figure, AB is a diameter of the circle such that ∠A = 35° and ∠Q = 25°, find ∠PBR.



Answer -

In the figure, AB is the diameter of the circle such that ∠A = 35° and ∠Q = 25°, join OP.
 
Arc PB subtends ∠POB at the centre and
∠PAB at the remaining part of the circle
∴ ∠POB = 2∠PAB = 2 x 35° = 70°
Now in ∆OP,
OP = OB radii of the circle
∴ ∠OPB = ∠OBP = 70° (∵ ∠OPB + ∠OBP = 140°)
Now ∠APB = 90° (Angle in a semicircle)
∴ ∠BPQ = 90°
and in ∆PQB,
Ext. ∠PBR = ∠BPQ + ∠PQB
= 90° + 25°= 115°
∴ ∠PBR = 115°
