Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem shown in the image asks to find the angles marked with letters in the given diagrams. In each diagram, is the center of the circle. Let's analyze the four parts individually to solve for the unknown angles.
(i) Diagram Analysis:
- The angles inside the circle include , , and the angle marked as .
- The sum of angles in a triangle is .
In this diagram, we see two radii forming an isosceles triangle. The base angles are both , and the vertex angle can be calculated using:
(ii) Diagram Analysis:
- Angles given: , , and the unknown angle at the circumference.
- The angle at the center is double the angle at the circumference subtended by the same arc (Circle Theorem).
Thus, using the circle theorem:
(iii) Diagram Analysis:
- Given angles: , , and .
- To find angle , we use the fact that the sum of angles in a quadrilateral is .
The sum of known angles is: Thus, angle is: However, since it is a reflex angle at the center, we subtract , so:
(iv) Diagram Analysis:
- Given angles: , , and angle at the center.
- is the reflex angle at the center subtended by the diameter of the circle, making it:
