Question:

If $PA$ and $PB$ are tangents to a circle with centre $O$ from an external point $P$ such that $\angle APB = 50^\circ$, find $\angle OAB$.

Step-by-Step Solution

Key Concept: $\angle AOB = 180^\circ - 50^\circ = 130^\circ$. In $\Delta OAB$, $OA = OB \Rightarrow \angle OAB = \dfrac{180^\circ - 130^\circ}{2} = 25^\circ$.
$\angle AOB = 180^\circ - 50^\circ = 130^\circ$. [1.0 Mark]
In isosceles $\Delta OAB$, $\angle OAB = \dfrac{180^\circ - 130^\circ}{2} = 25^\circ$. [1.0 Mark]
