⭐ Degree Measure Theorem
Degree Measure Theorem states that angle subtended by an arc of a circle at the centre is twice the angle subtended by it at any point on the circle. In each of these three cases, the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of two interior opposite angles.
➩ States that angle subtended by an arc of a circle at the centre is twice the angle subtended by it at any point on the circle.
Given :
An arc PQ of a circle C with center O and radius r with a point R in arc QP other than P or Q.To Prove : ∠POQ=2 ∠PRQ
Construction : Join RO and draw the ray ROM.
Proof :
There will be three cases as
(i) PQ⌢is a minor arc
(ii)PQ⌢ is a semi-circle
(iii)PQ⌢ is a major arc
Solution :
In each of these three cases, the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of two interior opposite angles.
Therefore, ∠POM=∠PRO+∠RPO ----- (1)
∠MOQ=∠ORQ+∠RQO. --- ----(2)
In △OPR and △O Q R
Now, OP = OR and OR = OQ (radii of the same circle)
∠PRO=∠RPO and ∠ORQ=∠R Q O (angles opposite to the equal sides are equal)
Hence, ∠POM=2∠PRO -------- (3)
And ∠MOQ=2∠ORQ ------ (4)
Case (1) : adding equations (3) and (4) we get
∠POM+∠MOQ=2∠PRO+2∠ORQ
∠POQ=2(∠PRO+∠ORQ)=2∠PRQ
∠POQ=2∠PR Q
Hence Proved.
Similarly, you can proceed for case (ii) and case (iii)
