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:

[tex]m\angle ABO[/tex]=[tex]35^{\circ}[/tex]

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 .

[tex]m\angle AOB=55^{\circ}[/tex]

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,[tex]m\angle OAB=90^{\circ}[/tex]

We know that sum of angles of a triangle is [tex]180^{\circ}[/tex].

By sum of angle of triangle property

Therefore,in triangle OAB

[tex]m\angle[/tex]OAB+ [tex]m\angle[/tex]ABO+ [tex]m\angle[/tex]AOB=[tex]180^{\circ}[/tex]

By angle sum of triangle property

90+55+[tex]m\angle ABO=180[/tex]

[tex]145+m\angle ABO=180[/tex]

[tex]m\angle ABO=180-145=35^{\circ}[/tex]

Hence, the angle ABO=[tex]35^{\circ}[/tex].
