Since , x 2 + y 2 = 2 5 ,
Hence, r a d i u s = 5 u n i t s
Construct O D as perpendicular from O t o Q R
Again, △ Q O D a n d △ R O D are congruent
Thus , Q D = D R
Distance between Q R = ( − 4 − 3 ) 2 + ( 3 − 4 ) 2
Q R = 5 2 u n i t s
Thus, Q D = 2 5 2
Now in △ Q O D
s i n ∠ Q O D = 5 2 5 2
s i n ∠ Q O D = 2 2
Therefore ∠ Q O D = 4 5
∠ Q O R = 2 × 4 5 = 9 0
∠ Q P R = 2 9 0 [Since angle subtended by a chord at circumference is half the angle subtended by it at the center]
∠ Q P R = 4 5
