24° 28° 34° 38° 52° 58° 114° 120°
Solution
Let's break down the problem using the following rules of circles and angles:
Given:
- is a diameter of the circle.
- Various angles need to be found using the provided angle values and geometric properties.
Key Properties to Consider:
- Angle in a semicircle (Thales' Theorem): Any angle subtended by a diameter on the circumference is a right angle (i.e., or ).
- Central Angle Theorem: The angle subtended by an arc at the center of a circle is twice the angle subtended at any point on the remaining part of the circle.
Let’s use this information to determine each angle.
Assigning the angles:
- (by Thales' Theorem).
- From the options given, we select the appropriate angles for the other positions using properties of circles and angle relationships:
Trying the angles:
Based on the given information (24°, 28°, 34°, 38°, 52°, 58°, 114°, 120°), let's assume the following:
- is already established by Thales' Theorem.
- (from Thales' theorem as well, since is the diameter).
- .
- (could be a supplementary angle).
- .
- .

Tip: Always remember that the angle subtended by a diameter of a circle is a right angle. This fact is key to solving many circle-related angle problems.
