iii) ∠ABC = 90°
iv) The angled inscribed in a semi-circle is 90° i.e a right-angle
Given:
Observe the given figure
Seg AC is the diameter of a circle
To Find:
Fill in the blanks given
i) ∠ABC = (1/2) m(arc ___)
ii) ∠ABC = (1/2) × ____
iii) ∠ABC = ______
iv) The angled inscribed in a semi-circle is a ____
Solution:
The measure of (arc AMC) = 180°
The angle at the center theorem is another name for the inscribed angle theorem. According to the inscribed angle theorem, the inscribed angle is half of the central angle.
As we know diameter AC is a straight line.
=> The angle at center = 180° (straight line.)
According to the Inscribed angle theorem
An angle inscribed in circle circumference = half of 180°
=> ∠ABC = (1/2) m(arc AMC)
=> ∠ABC = (1/2) × 180°
=> ∠ABC = 90°.
Therefore,
i) ∠ABC = (1/2) m(arc AMC)
ii) ∠ABC = (1/2) × 180°
iii) ∠ABC = 90°
iv) The angled inscribed in a semi-circle is 90° i.e a right-angle

Complete Question:
The measure of (arc AMC) = 180°
The angle at the center theorem is another name for the inscribed angle theorem. According to the inscribed angle theorem, the inscribed angle is half of the central angle.
As we know diameter AC is a straight line.
=> The angle at center = 180° (straight line.)
According to the Inscribed angle theorem
An angle inscribed in circle circumference = half of 180°
=> ∠ABC = (1/2) m(arc AMC)
=> ∠ABC = (1/2) × 180°
=> ∠ABC = 90°.
Therefore,
i) ∠ABC = (1/2) m(arc AMC)
ii) ∠ABC = (1/2) × 180°
iii) ∠ABC = 90°
iv) The angled inscribed in a semi-circle is 90° i.e a right-angle
