Angle subtended by a chord on the centre of a circle is 180 degree. What will be the angle subtended by the same chord on the circumference of this circle? |
120 degree 95 degree 90 degree 45 degree |
90 degree |
We know that , Angle made by an chord at center is double to the angle made by same chord on the major arc. Angle subtended by a chord on the centre of a circle is 180 degree. That means chord is diameter of circle. And we know that , Diameter makes 90º angle on circumference. Let us consider that , Angle made at circumference = x degree According to question , 2x = 180º x = 90º
