# CIRCLES (FINDING ANGLES)

In the given figure a semi-circle is drawn with centre M and AB is diameter. If $$\measuredangle MQN= \measuredangle MPN= 10^\text{o}$$ and $$\ \measuredangle AMQ=40^\text{o}$$, then the measure of $$\angle PMB$$ equals

$$(1)\quad20^\text{o}\quad\quad\quad\quad(2)\quad30^\text{o}$$

Let $$\measuredangle PMN=x$$.
Since $$\measuredangle MQN=\measuredangle MPN$$, we obtain that $$MQPN$$ is cyclic.
Thus, $$\measuredangle NQP=\measuredangle NMP=x,$$ which says $$\measuredangle QPN=10^{\circ}+x+10^{\circ}=20^{\circ}+x.$$ Id est, $$20^{\circ}+x=40^{\circ},$$ which gives $$x=20^{\circ}.$$
