Q14 of 22 Page 126

In the adjoining figure, if O is centre of circle and BC is the diameter then the value of x is

In ΔABO, 2BAO + BOA = 180


BOA = 80°


AOC = 180 – 80 = 100


By the theorem:-


The angle formed at the centre of a circle by an arc, is double of the angle formed by the same arc at any point on circle.


AOC = 2x


x = 50°
