Answer:

x = 30º

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the midpoint of OP, R.

The triangle of OQR would be an equilateral triangle since OQ = OR as they are both radii and is OQR and ORQ are 60º, ROQ is also 60º, making the triangle equilateral. Because tangents meet a circle at 90º, the angle RQP would be 30º and since angles on a straight line add to 180º, the angle QRP would be 180-ORQ which is 120º. Now we know the 2 angles in triangle of QRP so we can work out the final angle since angles in a triangle add to 180º. So:

180 - 120 - 30 = 30º.

x = 30º

This would also prove that QR and RP are the same since base angles in an isosceles triangle are equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount he earns per hour = $6

If he works on Saturday, he is paid time and a quarter .

Amount would be
