In the diagram above, RST is a tangent to circle VSU center O ∠SVU = 50° and UV is a diameter. Calculate ∠RSV.
- 90°
- 50°
- 45°
-
40°
The correct answer is: D
Explanation
< VSU = 90° (angle in a semi-circle)
\(\therefore\) < SUV = 180° - 90° - 50°
= 40°
< RSV = 40° (angle which chord makes tangent = angle in alternate segment)
