In the figure, BC is a chord of the circle with centre O and A is a point on the minor arc BC. Then, ∠BAC−∠OBC is equal to _____
Take any point M on the major arc of BC of a circle.
Join AM, BM, and CM
Now, we have a cyclic quadrilateral BACM
As sum of opposite angles of a quadrilateral is 180 °
∴ ∠BAC+∠BMC=180° ____(1)
As we know, the angle subtended by a chord at the centre is double of the angle subtended by a chord on the circle
∴ ∠BOC=2∠BMC (2)
From (1) and (2),
∠BAC+ 1/2 ∠BOC=180°___ (3)
Now, BO=OC ___(radii of circle)
∴ ∠OBC=∠OCB
In △OBC
In △OBC,
∠OBC+∠OCB+∠BOC=180°
2∠OBC+∠BOC=180°
⟹ ∠BOC=180° −2∠OBC ____(4)
From (3) and (4)
BAC+ 1/2 (180° −2∠OBC)=180°
⟹ ∠BAC+90°−∠OBC=180°
∴ ∠BAC−∠OBC=90°
Hence,solved
