Math Problem Statement
Solution
The question is based on the geometry of a circle and the properties of angles subtended by the diameter and chords in a circle. Let’s analyze and solve each part systematically.
Given:
- is the diameter of the circle.
- .
- Angle relationships in the circle are to be evaluated for the table provided.
We proceed by explaining and solving each part of the table:
a)
- Reason: According to the property of a circle, the angle subtended by the diameter of a circle on the circumference is always a right angle. Hence, .
b)
- Reason: Since , the angles subtended by these parallel chords at the circumference on the same side of the circle are equal. This is due to the property of equal arcs subtending equal angles at the circumference.
c)
- Reason: Both and are angles subtended by the same chord on the circumference. According to the angle subtended by the same chord theorem, they are equal.
d)
- Reason: The total angle subtended by any two adjacent arcs of the circle is , as the points lie on a semicircle (formed by the diameter ).
Final Table:
Statement | Reason |
---|---|
a) | Angle subtended by the diameter is a right angle. |
b) | Angles subtended by parallel chords are equal. |
c) | Angles subtended by the same chord are equal. |
d) | Angles in a semicircle add up to . |
