ECZ 2016 · GCE Paper 1 — Circle Theorems

In the diagram, TR is a diameter of the circle with centre O, and QR and PS are parallel. Angle TÔS = 80° and angle TR̂P = 10°. Find RP̂S.

Verified working — step 1

TÔS = 80° puts arc TS at 80°, and since TR is a diameter, arc SR = 180 − 80 = 100°. RP̂S is an inscribed angle standing on arc RS, so RP̂S = 100 ÷ 2 = …
