Points $A$ and $B$ are on a circle centered at $O$, and point $P$ is outside the circle such that $\overline{PA}$ and $\overline{PB}$ are tangent to the circle. If $\angle OPA = 32^{\circ}$, then what is the measure of minor arc $AB$, in degrees?
AoPS Admin and AoPS User, we appreciate that you are trying to stop people from cheating on AoPS homework, but unfortunately, no, we cannot track your IP address, nor do we care to do so.

lol i feel like the AoPS account is fake and looking for answers too
all u are fake
lol guys...thats not the right answer anyway
Just use ordinary keyboard keys
According to the properties of tangents to circles,
AO is perpendicular to PA making angle PAO = 90°,
thus angle angle POA = 90-32 = 58°
The same property is true for angle POB
since PA = PB , angle POB = 58°
Then angle AOB = 116° and the arc AB is subtended by a central angle of 116°
or
PAOB is a quadrilateral with 2 right angles
thus angle AOB = 360° - 2(90)° - 64° = 116°
