In the diagram above, PQ is the tangent to the circle RST at T.|ST| = ST and ∠RTQ = 68o. Find ∠PTS

A.

68o

B.

62o

C.

61o

D.

56o

E.

34o

Correct answer is D

∠TSR = 68o ∴ STR =
180-68/2
= 56o

PTS= 180-(68+56) = 56o

A.

145o

B.

150o

C.

155o

D.

160o

E.

165o

Correct answer is E

Join PR to a pentagon
90 + 90 + 140 + 55 + x = 540o
x = 165o
