0Answer:

Angle PTR is 136*

Explanation:

In Question, We Have Given

Line PS and RS are Two Tangent To Circle With Centre T & ∠PSR=44* .

Thus ∠SPT=90* & ∠SRT=90* (Property Of Tangent ↔ Tangent always Form 90* With Radius Of Circle)

Now We Have A Quadrilateral SPTR & The Sum Of All Angle Of Quadrilateral is 360* .

Thus The Angle Of PTR is

∠PTR = 360* - ( 90*+90*+44*)

∠PTR = 360* - 224*

∠PTR = 136*
