Question

Plz i need help walk me through it, thanks​

Answer 1

`p=36^(\circ)`

Explanation:

We can prove that a tangent will always be perpendicular to the radius touching it. So, the other angle in the diagram is
`90^(\circ)`.

Because all the angles of a triangle sum to
`180^(\circ)`, we have that
`p+54+90=180`.

We combine like terms on the left side to get
`p+144=180`.

We subtract
`144` on both sides to get
`p=36`.

So,
`\boxed{p=36^(\circ)}` and we're done!
