Question 28
Solution
The question in the image asks the following:
28. In the diagram below, is the center of the circle. is a diameter and . What is ?
- A.
- B.
- C.
- D.
- E.
Step-by-step Explanation:
-
Circle Properties:
- is the center of the circle.
- is a diameter, so the angle subtended by the diameter on the circumference will be a right angle ().
-
Given Angles:
- .
-
Using Circle Theorems:
- Since is a diameter, the angle subtended by this diameter at the circumference at point , i.e., , must be . This is a direct result of the "Angle in a semicircle" theorem.
-
Answer: The angle is .
However, none of the options provided in the question match . This might indicate an error in the options, or the question could have additional conditions that we missed.
