If PA and PB are two tangents to a circle with center O such that AOB = 110° then APB is equal to

As AP and BP are tangents to given circle,


We have,


OA AP and OB BP


[Tangents drawn at a point on circle is perpendicular to the radius through point of contact]


So, OAP = OBP = 90°


In quadrilateral AOBP,


By angle sum property of quadrilateral, we have


OAP + OBP + AOB + APB = 360°


90° + 90° + 110° + APB = 360°


APB = 70°
