1. In the given figure, PQ=QR, angle P=60^ , Find m (arc PR).
Answers
Answer:
Answer
⇒ In △PQR,
⇒ PR=QR [ Given ]
∴ ∠RPQ=∠PQR [ Opp angles of equal sides are equal ]
⇒ ∠QRP=90o [ Angle inscribed in semi-circle ]
⇒ ∠PQR+∠QRP+∠RPQ=180o
⇒ ∠RPQ+90o+∠RPQ=180o
∴ 2∠RPQ=180o−90o
∴ 2∠RPQ=90o
∴ ∠RPQ=45o
Given:-
- PQ = QR .
- ∠P = 60° .
TO FIND :-
- Length of arc PR.
SOLUTION :-
in ∆PQR , we have,
→ ∠P = 60° (given)
→ PQ = QR (given)
then,
→ ∠P = ∠R . { Angle Opposite to equal sides are equal .}
So,
→ ∠P + ∠R + ∠Q = 180° (Angle sum Property.)
→ 60° + 60° + ∠Q = 180°
→ 120° + ∠Q = 180°
→ ∠Q = 180° - 120°
→ ∠Q = 60° .
Now, we know that,
- Angle at centre is double of angle at circumference .
so,
→ ∠POR = 2 * ∠Q = 2 * 60° = 120° . (where O is the centre of the circle.)
therefore,
→ Length of arc PR = (Angle at centre/360°) * 2 * π * radius
→ Length of arc PR = (120/360) * 2πr
→ Length of arc PR = (1/3)2πr = (1/3) of circumference of given circle. (Ans.)
