Ans
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that angle ABO= angle CBO
Therefore angle ABO=CBO=30 DEGREE
Angle AOC=2 angle ABC (Angle subtended by the arc at the centre is twice that subtended on the remain part of the circle)
Therefore
Angle AOC=2*30
=60 DEGREE
Construction: draw a perpendicular line from centre to chord AC which meets it at M
In triangle ABM and CBM
AM=BM. Perpendicular from centre to chord bisects the chord)
Angle BMA= Angle BMC=90degree (by construction)
BM=BM (common)
Therefore
Triangle ABM is congruent to triangle CBM (SAS cong. rule)
AB=CB(cpct)
Given
AB=6cm
Therefore BC=6cm
Therefore
Angle AOC=60degree
And
CB=6cm
