40º

7) In this problem, we can see that both tangent lines to that circle come from the same point O.

So, we can write out the following considering that there is one secant line DO and one tangent line to the circle AO


\begin{gathered} m\angle1=(1)/(2)(160-80) \\ m\angle1=(1)/(2)(80) \\ m\angle1=40^(\circ) \end{gathered}
