A chord of a circle is equal to the radius of circle find the angle subtended by the chord at a point on the minor arc and also at a point on the major arc
Answers
Answer:
whe a chord is equal to the radius, it forms an equilateral triangle with the centre.
so it subtends 60° at the centre.
therefore it subtends 60°/2 = 30° at any point on the major arc and 180° - 30° = 150° on the minor arc [ angle on major arc and Minor arc form a linear pair as it is cyclic ]
Answer:
Given,
AB is equal to the radius of the circle.
In △OAB,
OA=OB=AB= radius of the circle.
Thus, △OAB is an equilateral triangle.
∠AOC=60°
Also, ∠ACB= 1/2 ∠AOB= 1/2 ×60°=30°
ACBD is a cyclic quadrilateral,
∠ACB+∠ADB=180° ∣ Opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral
⇒∠ADB=180°−30°=150°
Thus, angle subtend by the chord at a point on the minor arc and also at a point on the major arc are 150° and 30° respectively.
hope this helps you.
