Question

A chord of a circle is equal to the radius of the
circle. Find the angle subtended by the chord at
inaint on the minor arc and also at a point on the
major arc.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

and ∠AOC=60°.

Also, ∠ACB=

∠AOB=

×60°=30°.

Since, ACBD is a cyclic quadrilateral,

∠ACB+∠ADB=180° ....[Opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary]

⇒∠ADB=180°−30°=150°
