In the figure, X and Y are the centres of two equal circles. AR touches the circle at P and Q. AR passes through X and touches the circle with centre Y at D. If the two circles touch each other at S. Find θ.
A. 18.4°
B. 26.6°
C. 30°
D. It cannot be determined.

I cannot find the actual value of θ. Is the answer is D or any things I have missed
so that the answer should be A,B or C?
Please help. Thank you!

✔ 最佳答案
XYQP is a rectangle, let XP be r, so XY is 2r.Triangle DXY is a right-angled triangle with right angle XDY.As DY is also having the length r, so,sin θ＝DY/XY＝r/2r＝1/2therefore, θ＝30° ⋯⋯ (C)

They are two equal circles, and AR touch these two circles at P, Q.
So, XP丄AR and YQ丄AR, that is, XYQP is a rectangle.

You can draw XY and DY only
It may be the easiest way to find θ by using sin θ
