Since QS and SP are tangents from the same point S => QS = SP => In $$ riangle$$QSP, $$angle$$SQP = QPS
=> $$angle$$SQP + $$angle$$QPS + $$angle$$PSQ = 180° => $$angle$$QPS = 90/2 = 45° Similarly, $$angle$$SPR = 45° Adding above two equations, we get : => $$angle$$QPS + $$angle$$SPR = 45° + 45° => $$angle$$QPR = 90°
