In the Fig, O is the centre of the circle, prove that, ∠a = ∠b + ∠c.
∠AOB = 2∠AEB = 2∠AFB
... ∠AOB = ∠AEB + ∠AFB
... ∠a = ∠4 + ∠3 = 2∠4 ............. (i)
Now ∠1 = ∠2 (In same segment) ............. (ii)
∠b = ∠4 + ∠1 (Exterior angles equal to sum of two equal interior opposite angles)
⇒ ∠b = ∠4+∠2 ............. (iii) [from (ii)]
∠c = ∠4 - ∠2 ............. (iv) (Since ∠c +∠2 = ∠4)
Adding equations (iii) and (iv) we get,
∠b + ∠c = 2∠4 = ∠a [from(i)]
or ∠a = ∠b + ∠c
... ∠AOB = ∠AEB + ∠AFB
... ∠a = ∠4 + ∠3 = 2∠4 ............. (i)
Now ∠1 = ∠2 (In same segment) ............. (ii)
∠b = ∠4 + ∠1 (Exterior angles equal to sum of two equal interior opposite angles)
⇒ ∠b = ∠4+∠2 ............. (iii) [from (ii)]
∠c = ∠4 - ∠2 ............. (iv) (Since ∠c +∠2 = ∠4)
Adding equations (iii) and (iv) we get,
∠b + ∠c = 2∠4 = ∠a [from(i)]
or ∠a = ∠b + ∠c
