Verified Answer :

A tangent forms a right angle with the centre of circle at the point it touches the circumference. i.e. OAB = 90 degrees
If AOB = 55 degrees, then ABO = 90 - 55 = 35 degrees

Answer:

\(m\angle ABO\)=\(35^{\circ}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given AB is a tangent to the circle O and touch the circle at point A.

We know that tangent is a line which touches the circle only at one point .

\(m\angle AOB=55^{\circ}\)

We know that the radius of circle is perpendicular to the tangent.

In the figure OA is radius of given circle

AB is a tangent line

Radius OA is perpendicular to the tangent AB.

Therefore,\(m\angle OAB=90^{\circ}\)

We know that sum of angles of a triangle is \(180^{\circ}\).

By sum of angle of triangle property

Therefore,in triangle OAB

\(m\angle\)OAB+ \(m\angle\)ABO+ \(m\angle\)AOB=\(180^{\circ}\)

By angle sum of triangle property

90+55+\(m\angle ABO=180\)

\(145+m\angle ABO=180\)

\(m\angle ABO=180-145=35^{\circ}\)

Hence, the angle ABO=\(35^{\circ}\).
