Take a look at paragraph 5 of

it is given that angle ptq = 25 deg . find angle PSQ and OPQ

First, let's establish some properties:
1. Tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal in length.
This means that TP = TQ.
2. The measure of an angle formed by a chord and a tangent drawn from the same point of contact is equal to half of the measure of the arc intercepted by the angle at the center of the circle.
In other words, angle PTQ = 1/2 * arc PQ.
Now, let's apply these properties to solve the problem:
Since TP = TQ, triangle PTQ is an isosceles triangle. Thus, angle TPQ = angle TQP.
Using the property mentioned above (angle PTQ = 1/2 * arc PQ), we know that angle PTQ = 25 degrees. Therefore, arc PQ = 2 * angle PTQ = 50 degrees.
Because angles PTQ and PQT are equal, triangle PQS is also an isosceles triangle. Thus, angle PSQ = angle PQS.
We also know that angle PTQ = angle TPQ, and since angle TPQ and angle PTQ are both part of angle OPQ, we have that angle OPQ = 2 * angle TPQ = 2 * 25 degrees = 50 degrees.
To summarize:
- Angle PSQ = angle PQS.
- Angle OPQ = 50 degrees.
Please note that these values are applicable for the given conditions in the problem.
