Question

In the given figure o is centre of the circle if AOC=130°then find ABC

Answer 1

where is the figure?????

Answer 2

Join A and C to any point P in major arc AC.

We know that the angle subtended by an arc of a circle at the centre is double the angle subtended by it any point on the remaining part of the circle.

$\therefore \angle APC = \frac{1}{2} \angle AOC \\ = > \frac{1}{2} (130 \degree) \\ = > 65 \degree$

Now, ABCP is a cyclic quadrilateral and sum of opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral is 180°

$\therefore\angle APC + \angle ABC = 180 \degree$

$= > \angle ABC = 180 \degree - \angle APC$

$= > 180 \degree - 65 \degree$

$= > 115 \degree$

Therefore, $\boxed{\angle ABC = 115\degree}$
