Angle subtended by a chord on the major are of the circle is 50 degree. What is the angle subtended by the same chord on the centre of the circle? |
100 degree 120 degree 140 degree 25 degree |
100 degree |
So, the major arc for the PQ chord is PRQ. Hence, \(\angle\)PRQ = \({50}^\circ\) Here, \(\angle\)POQ is the angle subtended by the same chord, PQ on the center of the circle. According tot the concept, \(\angle\)POQ = 2 x \(\angle\)PRQ = \(\angle\)POQ = 2 x \({50}^\circ\) = \(\angle\)POQ = \({100}^\circ\) Therefore, the angle subtended by the same chord on the center of the circle is \({100}^\circ\). |
