Answer:

= 52°

Explanation:

The obtuse angle at O is twice the angle made at the circumference /by the same segment b.

=52×2=104°

The base angles that are made by isosceles triangle that has the apex with angle 104° equal to (180-104)/2=38°

The radii of a circle are equal and meet tangents at right angles.

Angle a= 90-38= 52°
