Please help! Segment QR is tangent to circle P at point Q. What is the measure of angle PQR? A.) 37 degrees B.) 53 degrees C.) 90 degrees D.) 97 degrees

Correct option: C) 90 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have a tangent segment to a circle, the angle made with the radius of the circle and the tangent segment is always a right angle, that is, 90 degrees. In other words, the radius and the tangent segment are always perpendicular.

If QR is tangent to the circle P, and PQ is the radius of the circle, the segment PQ is perpendicular to the segment QR, so the angle PQR is equal 90 degrees.

Correct option: C)
