Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve this, we will use the information from the diagram and apply geometry concepts.
We are tasked with calculating the angles and . Here's the breakdown:
Step 1: Analyzing
The angle is a central angle in the circle. Given:
This is because the angle at the center (subtended by the arc) is double the angle subtended by the same arc at the circumference (inscribed angle theorem).
Thus:
Step 2: Analyzing
The angle is an inscribed angle, and it is subtended by the same arc as the central angle . From the inscribed angle theorem, we know:
Substituting :
