2. In the figure, O is the centre of the circle. TQR is a straight line. TQ = PQ, POQ = 104
and PSR = 76. Is TP is the tangent to the circle at P? Explain your answer. (6 marks)
M1 PQT = PSR (ext. , cyclic quad.)
= 76 1A S
P
∵ PQ = TQ (given) 76
∴ TPQ = PTQ (base s, isos. △) 1M 104 O
In △PQT,
TPQ + PTQ + PQT = 180 ( sum of △) (1M)
2TPQ + 76 = 180 T R
Q
TPQ = 52 1A
∵ OP = OQ (radii)
∴ OPQ = OQP (base s, isos. △) (1M)
In △OPQ,
OPQ + OQP + POQ = 180 ( sum of △) (1M)
2OPQ + 104 = 180
OPQ = 38 1A
OPT = TPQ + OPQ 1M
= 52 + 38
= 90
∴ TP is the tangent to the circle at P. (converse of tangent  radius) 1A f.t.

PRQ = PSR (ext. , cyclic quad.) 104 O

∵ PQ = TQ (given)
∴ TPQ = PTQ (base s, isos. △) 1M T R
Q
In △PQT,
TPQ + PTQ + PQT = 180 ( sum of △) (1M)
2TPQ + 76 = 180
TPQ = 52 1A
