Answer :
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the value of 'a' we will use the tangent-chord theorem,
"Angle formed by the chord and a tangent to the circle measure the half of the intercepted minor arc"
Angle 'a' is formed between the chord and the tangent.
Measure of the intercepted arc = (2 × 52)°
Therefore, measure of the angle 'a' = \frac{104}{2}
2
104
a = 52°
Therefore, Option (A) will be the correct option.
