In the diagram, O is the centre, \(\bar{RT}\) is a diameter, < PQT = 33\(^o\) and <TOS = 76\(^o\). Using the diagram, calculate the value of angle PTR.

  • 73o
  • 67o
  • 57o checkmark
  • 37o

The correct answer is: C

Explanation

In the diagram given, < PRT = 3\(^o\) (Change in same segment)

< TPR = 90\(^o\) (angle in a semicircle)

Hence, < PTR = 180\(^o\) - (90 + 33)\(^o\)

= 180\(^o\) - 123\(^o\)

= 57\(^o\)
