In the given figure, from the point X two tangents XA and XB are drawn to a circle with centre O and radius 5 cm. From the point O, OC and OD are drawn parallel to XA and XB respectively. If the length of two chord AB is 5 cm, then what is the value of (in degrees) of ∠COD? |
120° 140° 135° 90° |
120° |
So, ΔAOB is an equilateral triangle So, ∠AXB + ∠AOB = 180° ∠AXB = 120° So XA || OC and XB || OD so, ∠AXB = ∠COD = 120° |
