The figure shows a circle with center P and inscribed isosceles Triangle ABC. If AC has the same length as the radius of the circle, what is the measure of angle ABC

The figure shows a circle with center P and inscribed isosceles Triangle ABC If AC has the same length as the radius of the circle what is the measure of angle class=

Respuesta :

Answer:

<ABC = [tex]30^{0}[/tex] (The central angle of a circle is twice any inscribed angle subtended by the same arc).

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram, ABC is an inscribed isosceles triangle. But the radius of the circle equals the length AC.

Join P to A and C to form an equilateral triangle. An equilateral triangle has equal sides and angles. So, the value of each interior angle of the equilateral triangle is;

Sum of angle in a triangle = [tex]180^{0}[/tex]

So that each interior angle = [tex]\frac{180^{0} }{3}[/tex]

                                            = [tex]60^{0}[/tex]

The value of each interior angle of the triangle is [tex]60^{0}[/tex]. Thus, <APC = [tex]60^{0}[/tex].

⇒ <ABC = [tex]30^{0}[/tex] (The central angle of a circle is twice any inscribed angle subtended by the same arc.)
