When two tangents PM and SM meet at point M with angle M = 40°, the angle PRS (inscribed angle subtended by the chord connecting the tangent points) equals 90° + (angle M/2) = 110°, while the angle PTS (angle between the tangent and the chord) equals 180° - angle M = 140°.

Interesting math challenge #geometry #mathproblem #mathchallenge #mathsAdded:
given PM S is 40° and PM is a tangent and SM also is a tangent. Okay, here we have to find out the angle P RS and we have to find out also angle PTS.
So what will be the value of the angle P RS and angle PTS?
So this is also a circle. Okay.
So PM is a tangent and also SM is a tangent and here angle M has been given 40°.
So what will be the value of the angles angle P R S and angle PTS.
So please start and give the answer.
So this zeometric question is very important for upcoming competitive examination.
Here the angle M has been given 40 and we have to find out here angle and angle T.
There are two tangents okay PM and SM.
Now we have to find out here the value of the angle P RS and angle PTS.
So friends, See here he has been given MS is a tangent. Okay.
And also MP is also a tangent.
Now we have to find out the value of the angle P R S. Let's just see here.
Here the formula is P R S equal to 90° + angle M by 2. Okay. So here 90° + 40° by 2.
Okay.
So here 90° + 20°. Okay. So 110°.
Okay.
So we have got here the value of the angle P R S is 110°.
Okay. Now we have to find out the value of the angle PTS. So friends the formula to find out the value of the angle P R pts is.
So friends see here. So this is 100. So 118° okay 80° 180° so here 180° minus 40° okay so here 140° will be the value of the angle pts.
Okay. So this is the rules we have to use here to solve this problem. Okay. So we have got here the value of the angle P RS equal to 110° and also we have got here the value of the angle PTS is 140°.
So here 110°.
Okay. And also here 140°. Okay. So this is the answer. Okay.
So see here.
So friend if you draw a line. So see here we know that the total value of the angle. So here this portion is 180°.
So the rule we have to use here to find out pts as we have to write down here 180° minus m. Okay. So here m has been given here 40°. So that is why we have put here 40°. So we have to subtract 40° from 180°. So after that we have got here 140°. So 140° will be the value of the PTS.
So friends here MP okay so MP is a tangent.
So P M is a tangent also here M S is a tangent. Okay. So there are two tangents here. So this is okay PM and SM.
