1.1.1 Determine, with reasons, the size of each of the following angles:

a) ∠MOS\boldsymbol{\angle MOS}

  1. Identify the relationship between the angle at the center and the angle at the circumference subtended by the same arc.

    The angle subtended by an arc at the center is twice the angle subtended by the same arc at any point on the remaining part of the circle. Arc MS subtends ∠MOS\angle MOS at the center O and ∠STM\angle STM at the circumference.

  2. Apply the theorem and substitute the given value.

    ∠MOS=2×∠STM\angle MOS = 2 \times \angle STM ∠MOS=2×29∘\angle MOS = 2 \times 29^\circ
  3. Calculate the angle.

    ∠MOS=58∘\boxed{\angle MOS = 58^\circ}

    Reason: Angle at center is twice angle at circumference.

    b) L^\boldsymbol{\hat{L}}

  4. Use the information that chords PM and MS are equal.

    Since chords PM and MS are equal, they subtend equal angles at the center.
    Therefore, ∠POM=∠MOS\angle POM = \angle MOS.

  5. Substitute the value of ∠MOS\angle MOS from part (a).

    ∠POM=58∘\angle POM = 58^\circ

    Reason: Equal chords subtend equal angles at the center.

  6. Identify the relationship between L^\hat{L} (which is ∠PLM\angle PLM) and the central angle ∠POM\angle POM.

    ∠PLM\angle PLM is the angle subtended by arc PM at the circumference. ∠POM\angle POM is the angle subtended by arc PM at the center.

  7. Apply the theorem and calculate L^\hat{L}.

    ∠PLM=12×∠POM\angle PLM = \frac{1}{2} \times \angle POM ∠PLM=12×58∘\angle PLM = \frac{1}{2} \times 58^\circ L^=29∘\boxed{\hat{L} = 29^\circ}

    Reason: Angle at circumference is half angle at center.

    1.1.2 Prove that SM=2×ONSM = 2 \times ON

  8. Use the information that ON bisects chord LP.

    A line from the center that bisects a chord is perpendicular to the chord.
    Therefore, ∠ONL=90∘\angle ONL = 90^\circ.

  9. Consider the right-angled triangle △ONL\triangle ONL.

    In △ONL\triangle ONL, we have sin⁡(∠OLP)=ONOL\sin(\angle OLP) = \frac{ON}{OL}.
    From part 1.1.1 (b), we know ∠OLP=L^=29∘\angle OLP = \hat{L} = 29^\circ.
    Let rr be the radius of the circle, so OL=rOL = r.

    sin⁡(29∘)=ONr\sin(29^\circ) = \frac{ON}{r} ON=rsin⁡(29∘)(Equation 1)ON = r \sin(29^\circ) \quad \text{(Equation 1)}
  10. Consider △MOS\triangle MOS.

    Since OM and OS are both radii, OM=OS=rOM = OS = r. Thus, △MOS\triangle MOS is an isosceles triangle.
    From part 1.1.1 (a), we know ∠MOS=58∘\angle MOS = 58^\circ.
    Draw a perpendicular from O to SM, let the intersection point be K. In △OKM\triangle OKM, ∠OKM=90∘\angle OKM = 90^\circ.
    The line from the center perpendicular to a chord bisects the angle at the center.

    ∠MOK=12∠MOS=12×58∘=29∘\angle MOK = \frac{1}{2} \angle MOS = \frac{1}{2} \times 58^\circ = 29^\circ
  11. Express SM in terms of the radius and angle.

    In the right-angled triangle △OKM\triangle OKM:

    sin⁡(∠MOK)=MKOM\sin(\angle MOK) = \frac{MK}{OM} sin⁡(29∘)=MKr\sin(29^\circ) = \frac{MK}{r} MK=rsin⁡(29∘)MK = r \sin(29^\circ)

    Since OK is perpendicular to SM, K is the midpoint of SM.

    SM=2×MKSM = 2 \times MK SM=2×rsin⁡(29∘)(Equation 2)SM = 2 \times r \sin(29^\circ) \quad \text{(Equation 2)}
  12. Compare Equation 1 and Equation 2.

    From Equation 1, we have rsin⁡(29∘)=ONr \sin(29^\circ) = ON.
    Substitute this into Equation 2:

    SM=2×(rsin⁡(29∘))SM = 2 \times (r \sin(29^\circ)) SM=2×ONSM = 2 \times ON

    Thus, it is proven that SM=2×ONSM = 2 \times ON.
