Question

Please help y’all

In the diagram below, XY is
tangent to OC at point P.
What is m

Answer 1

m<CPX = 90°

Explanation:

The line tangent to a circle states that when a line is a tangent to a circle, a radius that is drawn from the center to the circle to the point of tangency will be perpendicular to the tangent line

Apply this theorem to the given circle, one can state that (m<CPX= 90°) and (m<CPY = 90°), since (XY) is tangent to the circle will radius (CP).

Answer 2

90

Explanation:

Tangents meet the end of a radius that is not at the center of a circle.

The tangent makes a 90 degrees angle with that end of the radius.
