Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's solve each of the given questions step by step based on the image:
(i) Find the radius of the circle:
We observe that the radius is not directly given but can be determined based on the context of the circle.
- Answer: (option b)
(ii) Measure of :
appears to be an inscribed angle, subtending the diameter of the circle (straight line ). By the Thales theorem, any angle subtended by a diameter is .
- Answer: (option b)
(iii) Area of :
Using the formula for the area of a triangle: Here, the base is the diameter of the circle () and the height is the radius ():
- Answer: (option d)
(iv) Length of the longest chord of the circle:
The longest chord in a circle is the diameter. Since the radius is , the diameter is:
- Answer: (option c)
(v) In figure, is known as:
The figure encloses an arc smaller than the semicircle, which forms a minor segment.
- Answer: Minor segment (option b)
Would you like to go through any of these in detail or ask questions about related concepts? Here are 5 questions to deepen your understanding:
- How is the Thales theorem used to determine angles in circles?
- Why is the diameter the longest chord in a circle?
- What is the relationship between a circle's radius and its area of inscribed shapes?
- Can you calculate the arc length corresponding to ?
- What differentiates a minor segment from a major segment?
Tip: The sum of all angles around the center of a circle is always , a helpful tool for finding unknown angles!
