Q3 of 12 Page 111

In the figure, seg PN and seg TC are the diameters of a circle. Write the measures of the arcs formed by the endpoints of these diameters and explain your answers.

PN is a straight line


So


POT + TON = 180°


TON = 180°-100°


POT = CON = 100°


POC = TON = 80°


According to the diagram


Taking point P & C of diameters


Minor arc = m(PWC) = 80°


Major arc = m(PYC) = 360°-80° = 280


Taking point C & N of diameters


Minor arc = m(CZN) = 100°


Major arc = m(CXN) = 360°-100° = 260°


Taking point N & T of diameters


Minor arc = m(NYT) = 80°


Major arc = m(NWT) = 360°-80° = 280°


Taking point P & T of diameters


Minor arc = m(PXT) = 100°


Major arc = m(PZT) = 360° -100° = 260°


PN & TC are diameters of circle


Taking diameter PN


Semicircular arc are PTN & PCN


m(PTN) = m(PCN) = 180°


Taking diameter TC


Semicircular arc are TPC & TNC


m(TPC) = m(TNC) = 180°
