u guess wrong
tan theta= grad of one tangent
tan theta = gradient of second tangent
theta 1- theta 2 = answer
i dunno how to make the diagram is wayyy to complicated
Take a look at iKhaled's solution. Although mine takes a way different route, by drawing the tangents and completing traingle QPI, where I is the point of intersection of the two tangents. Length of one of the tangents would be a, the other would be b, and c would be length QP. Then substitute it all in a^2 = b^2 + c^2 -2abcosq.
