In the diagram, PQRS is a circle center O. PQR is a diameter and ∠PRQ = 40°. Calculate ∠QSR.

  • A. 30°
  • B. 40°
  • C. 45°
  • D. 50°

Correct Answer: D. 50°

Explanation

< Q = < R (OQ = OR = radii)

< QOR = 180° - 2(40°) = 100°

< QSR = < RPQ = \(\frac{1}{2}\) < QOR

= \(\frac{100}{2} = 50°\)
