Angle subtended by a chord on the major arc of a circle is 65 degree. What is the angle subtended by the same chord on the centre of this circle ? |
130 degree 125 degree 90 degree 65 degree |
130 degree |
Let O, R and PQ be center, a point on the major arc and the aforementioned chord respectively. So, the major arc for the PQ chord is PRQ. Hence, \(\angle\)PRQ = \({65}^\circ\) \(\angle\)POQ is the angle subtended by the same chord, PQ on the center of the circle. According to the concept, \(\angle\)POQ = 2 x \(\angle\)PRQ = \(\angle\)POQ = 2 x \({65}^\circ\) = \(\angle\)POQ = \({130}^\circ\) Therefore, the angle subtended by the same chord on the center of the circle is \({130}^\circ\). |
