Math Problem Statement

Solution

The new image appears to show a similar geometric problem with a circle and an inscribed triangle. Let’s analyze this one as well.

Problem Description

  • There is a circle with center OO.
  • Triangle ABCABC is inscribed in the circle.
  • The angle at CC is given as 7070^\circ.
  • The goal is to find the measure of AOB\angle AOB.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Identify the Given Angle:

    • ACB=70\angle ACB = 70^\circ.
  2. Use the Inscribed Angle Theorem:

    • The Inscribed Angle Theorem states that an angle inscribed in a circle is half the measure of the central angle that subtends the same arc.
    • Thus, the central angle AOB\angle AOB is twice the inscribed angle ACB\angle ACB.
  3. Calculate the Central Angle:

    • AOB=2×ACB\angle AOB = 2 \times \angle ACB
    • AOB=2×70=140\angle AOB = 2 \times 70^\circ = 140^\circ

So, the measure of AOB\angle AOB is 140140^\circ.

Additional Explanation:

  • The Inscribed Angle Theorem is crucial here. It helps us relate the inscribed angle (an angle with its vertex on the circle) to the central angle (an angle with its vertex at the center of the circle).
  • Knowing the measure of ACB\angle ACB (an inscribed angle), we can directly find the measure of the corresponding central angle AOB\angle AOB by doubling it.
