Hello! :)

All angles in triangles must equal 180* degrees. So there is the 90 degrees at the meter Q and you add: 43+90=133* degrees. Remember, to make 180 so you do 180-133=47* degrees. I didn’t get any answer choices but if there are, choose the closest one to 47* degrees.

Hope this helped and I hope I answered in time!

Good luck!

Answer:

The value of x = 47°

Explanation:

From the figure we can see that a circle with center O.

PQ is a tangent to the circle fro point P.

m<P = 43°

Therefore <Q = 90°

To find the value of x

From the given triangle we can write,

x + m<Q + m<P = 180

x = 180 - (m<Q + m<P)

= 180 - (90 + 43)

= 180 - 133 = 47°

Therefore the value of x = 47°
