Math Problem Statement

Determine the relationship between the central angle ∠AOB and the inscribed angle ∠ACB in a circle where A, B, and C are points on the circumference, and O is the center.

Solution

The image contains a circle with points AA, BB, and CC marked on its circumference, while point OO is the center of the circle. There are two angles labeled:

  • Sudut pusat: This is the angle at the center of the circle, labeled as AOB\angle AOB, formed by the lines OAOA and OBOB, which are radii of the circle.
  • Sudut keliling: This is the angle on the circumference of the circle, labeled as ACB\angle ACB, formed by the points AA, CC, and BB.

The relationship between the central angle AOB\angle AOB and the inscribed angle ACB\angle ACB that subtend the same arc (arc ABAB) follows the Inscribed Angle Theorem, which states that:

ACB=12×AOB\angle ACB = \frac{1}{2} \times \angle AOB

Would you like further explanation on this theorem or how to apply it?

Here are 5 related questions to extend this information:

  1. What happens to the inscribed angle if the central angle is doubled?
  2. Can the inscribed angle ever be equal to the central angle? Why or why not?
  3. How does this theorem apply if point CC is moved to different positions on the circle?
  4. What is the measure of an inscribed angle subtending a semicircle?
  5. What other properties of circles are important in solving problems involving angles?

Tip: Always remember that an inscribed angle that subtends a semicircle (half of the circle) will always be a right angle (90 degrees).
