In the figure, PQ is a tangent at A. If angle BAC = 60 degrees (C is on circumference), what is the angle between the tangent and chord AB if it is equal to the angle in the alternate segment?
A30 degrees
B60 degrees
C90 degrees
D120 degrees
✓ Correct Answer: B — 60 degrees
According to the Alternate Segment Theorem, the angle between the tangent and the chord is equal to the angle in the alternate segment.
