Circle Theorem Exercises and Solutions

The document contains 4 geometry problems involving angles and circles. Problem 1 asks to find angle DOA given that BOD is a diameter and BC and AC are tangents. Problem 2 asks to find angle BAO given that AB and AC are tangents and angle BOC is 130 degrees. Problem 3 asks to find angle x given that PA and PB are tangents and angle APB is 86 degrees. Problem 4 involves finding the length of BC given AB is a tangent, BA is 8cm and OA is 6cm, and explaining why angle OAB is a right angle.
