How to do this circle theorem question?

I took a photo of the question. I'm really stuck on this circle theorem question, I think that I should write it out as an equation, but I have no idea where to start. Please help! :smile: i'll give rep!

Try drawing in some radii and use the fact that angles in a quadrilateral add up to 360° and the radii and tangent make a 90° angle

Then you should be able to use angles at the centre and circumference

Hope this helps :smile:

Angles in a quadrilateral sum to 360 degrees - it's angles in a triangle that sum to 180. Just pointing out, I know it was a typo.
