Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Prove that the angle in a semicircle is a right angle.
Solution:
Now POQ is a straight line passing through center O.
∴ Angle subtended by arc PQ at O is
∠POQ= 180°
The angle subtended by an arc at the center is double the angle subtended by it any point on the remaining part of the circle.
∴ ∠POQ= 2∠PAQ
2
∠POQ
=∠PAQ
2
180
=∠PAQ
∠PAQ= 90
Hence proved.
