Math Problem Statement

Titik O merupakan titik pusat lingkaran. Diketahui besar ∠AOE = 117° dan ∠BOD = 37°. Tentukan besar ∠BCD!

Solution

The problem provided involves a circle with center OO, and it states:

  1. AOE=117\angle AOE = 117^\circ.
  2. BOD=37\angle BOD = 37^\circ.
  3. We are tasked with finding BCD\angle BCD.

Solution:

Since BOD\angle BOD is the central angle, it subtends BCD\angle BCD at the circumference.

  1. Property of Angles in a Circle: The angle subtended by an arc at the center of a circle is twice the angle subtended at the circumference. Therefore: BCD=12×BOD\angle BCD = \frac{1}{2} \times \angle BOD

  2. Substitute the given value of BOD=37\angle BOD = 37^\circ: BCD=12×37=18.5\angle BCD = \frac{1}{2} \times 37^\circ = 18.5^\circ

Thus, the measure of BCD\angle BCD is 18.518.5^\circ.
