Sum of the angles made by a chord at the centre and on the major arc of a circle is 180 degree. What will be the angle made at the centre of the circle? |
60 degree 90 degree 75 degree 120 degree |
120 degree |
We know that , Angle made by an chord at center is double to the angle made by same chord on the major arc. Let us consider that , Angle made at major arc = x degree According to question , x + 2x = 180º 3x = 180º x = 60º Angle made at centre of circle = 2x = 2 × 60º = 120º
