Solution

This problem involves a geometric figure inside a circle with a central angle and an inscribed angle. We are asked to determine the size of the central angle POQ\angle POQ.

Key Information:

  • PRQ\angle PRQ is an inscribed angle, and its value is given as 2929^\circ.
  • OO is the center of the circle, making POQ\angle POQ a central angle.

Inscribed Angle Theorem:

The inscribed angle PRQ\angle PRQ is half the measure of the central angle POQ\angle POQ that subtends the same arc. Therefore, we can use the following relationship:

Central Angle (POQ)=2×Inscribed Angle (PRQ)\text{Central Angle } (\angle POQ) = 2 \times \text{Inscribed Angle } (\angle PRQ)

Calculation:

POQ=2×29=58\angle POQ = 2 \times 29^\circ = 58^\circ

Thus, the measure of POQ\angle POQ is 58°.
