‘O’ is the centre of the circle and A, B, C
are points on it. Prove that
∠AOB = 2 (∠ABC + ∠BAC)
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
so let solve
Aob =2(abc + bac)
2(x+x)
2(2x)
x=2/2

Given:
O is the center of the circle and A, B, C are the points on it.
To Prove:
∠AOB = 2(∠ABC + ∠BAC)
Solution:
We construct a line to meet CO.
Now, arc AC subtends ∠AOC at the center and ∝ABC in the remaining part of the circle.
Therefore, we see
∠AOC = 2∠ABC, since the angle subtended by an arc at the center of the circle, is double the angle subtended by it at a point in the remaining part of the circle. ...(I)
arc BC subtends ∠BOC at the center and ∠BAC in the remaining part of the circle, therefore,
∠BOC = 2∠BAC, because the angle subtended by an arc at the center of the circle, is double the angle subtended by it at a point in the remaining part of the circle ...(II)
Now we add equation (I) and equation (II),
⇒ ∠AOC + ∠BOC = 2∠ABC + 2∠ABC
⇒ ∠AOB = 2∠ABC + 2∠BAC
⇒ ∠AOB = 2(∠ABC + ∠BAC)
Hence proved.
