Q1 of 100 Page 17

In Fig. 16.193, two circles intersect at A and B. The centre of the smaller circle is O and it lies on the circumference of the larger circle. If ∠APB=70°, find ∠ACB.

O is the centre of the smaller circle.

∠APB = 70°


By degree measure theorem,


∠AOB = 2 ∠APB


∠AOB = 2 × 70°


= 140°


Therefore,


AOBC is a cyclic quadrilateral


∠ACB + ∠AOB = 180°


∠ACB + 140° = 180°


∠ACB = 40°
