What is the value of an angle subtended by a chord at the circle, if the angle subtended by this chord at the circumference is 66o ? |
90o 66o 132o 33o |
132o |
Let O, C and AB be the centre, a point on the circumference and the chord respectively. Hence, \(\angle\)ACB = \({66}^\circ\) Here, \(\angle\)AOB is the angle subtended by the same chord, AB on the centre of the circle. According to the concept, \(\angle\)AOB = 2 x \(\angle\)ACB ⇒ \(\angle\)AOB = 2 x \({66}^\circ\) ⇒ \(\angle\)AOB = \({132}^\circ\) Therefore, the angle subtended by the same chord on the centre of the circle is \({132}^\circ\). |
