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 , , and marked on its circumference, while point 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 , formed by the lines and , which are radii of the circle.
- Sudut keliling: This is the angle on the circumference of the circle, labeled as , formed by the points , , and .
The relationship between the central angle and the inscribed angle that subtend the same arc (arc ) follows the Inscribed Angle Theorem, which states that:

Here are 5 related questions to extend this information:
- What happens to the inscribed angle if the central angle is doubled?
- Can the inscribed angle ever be equal to the central angle? Why or why not?
- How does this theorem apply if point is moved to different positions on the circle?
- What is the measure of an inscribed angle subtending a semicircle?
- 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).
