$A geometric diagram showing a circle with center O. A line XWY is tangent to the circle at point W. Points U and V are on the circle. Line segments WU, WV, and OV are drawn. A line segment UV is also drawn. There are single tick marks on segments UV and VW, indicating they are equal in length. The angle XWU is labeled as \theta degrees.$

$U$ , $V\,$ and $W\,$ are points on a circle, centre $O$ . $XWY\,$ is a tangent to the circle at $W$ .

$U V = V W$ Angle $\theta^\circ$

Find the size of angle $O W V$ , in terms of $θ\theta$ . Give reasons for each stage of your working.
