In the circle mBC 66 the diagram is not drawn to scale What is angle BCP A 33 B 66 C 114 D 132

Answer :

PQ is the tangent, so, we have the theorem that says: The arc measure is double the amount of the angle the tangent makes.
Therefore, 66/2 = 33, thus the answer is letter A.
(see attached file for further explanation on the theorem).
