Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem asks to find the value of the angle in each diagram based on circle geometry principles. Let’s analyze each case:
Diagram (1):
- Known: Central angle .
- By the inscribed angle theorem, the inscribed angle is half of the central angle subtended by the same arc.
Diagram (2):
- Known: Angle is an inscribed angle, subtended by the arc across the circle.
- is the exterior angle at the vertex of the triangle, equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles:
Diagram (3):
- Known: The inscribed angle .
- Using the inscribed angle theorem again, is half of the central angle subtended by the same arc:
