Circle Theorems

Medium

A geometric diagram showing a circle with center O. A line ARB is tangent to the circle at point R. Points P and Q are on the circle. Line segments RP, RQ, and OQ are drawn. A line segment PQ is also drawn. There are single tick marks on segments PQ and QR, indicating they are equal in length. The angle ARP is labeled as a degrees.

$P$ , $Q\,$ and $R\,$ are points on a circle, centre $O$ . $ARB\,$ is a tangent to the circle at $R$ .

$P Q = QR$ Angle $a^\circ$

Find the size of angle $O R Q$ , in terms of $a$ . Give reasons for each stage of your working.
