Question 2

X,Y X, Y\,X,Y and Z Z\,Z are points on the circumference of a circle, centre OOO. SZT SZT\,SZT is a tangent to the circle.

A geometric diagram shows a circle with center OOO. A horizontal line SZT SZT\,SZT is tangent to the circle at point ZZZ. Points X X\,X and Y Y\,Y are on the circumference. Chords XZ XZ\,XZ and YZ YZ\,YZ are drawn.

Prove that angle TZY TZY\,TZY and angle ZXY ZXY\,ZXY are equal.
