whats angle abc?

Solution

To find the size of ABC\angle ABC in the given diagram, let's break down the information:

  1. Given: AOC=160\angle AOC = 160^\circ.
  2. OO is the center of the circle, and AOC\angle AOC is a central angle.

Key Concepts:

  • The central angle AOC\angle AOC is twice the measure of the inscribed angle ABC\angle ABC that subtends the same arc ACAC on the circle.
  • Therefore, ABC=12×AOC\angle ABC = \frac{1}{2} \times \angle AOC.

Calculation:

ABC=12×160=80\angle ABC = \frac{1}{2} \times 160^\circ = 80^\circ

Thus, the size of ABC\angle ABC is 8080^\circ.

  5. How do you calculate angles subtended by the same arc in different segments?

Tip: Remember that an inscribed angle is always half of the central angle that subtends the same arc!
