Step-by-step solution
12 steps1.1.1 Determine, with reasons, the size of each of the following angles:
a)
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 at the center O and at the circumference.
Apply the theorem and substitute the given value.
Calculate the angle.
Reason: Angle at center is twice angle at circumference.
b)
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, .Substitute the value of from part (a).
Reason: Equal chords subtend equal angles at the center.
Identify the relationship between (which is ) and the central angle .
is the angle subtended by arc PM at the circumference. is the angle subtended by arc PM at the center.
Apply the theorem and calculate .
Reason: Angle at circumference is half angle at center.
1.1.2 Prove that
Use the information that ON bisects chord LP.
A line from the center that bisects a chord is perpendicular to the chord.
Therefore, .Consider the right-angled triangle .
In , we have .
From part 1.1.1 (b), we know .
Let be the radius of the circle, so .Consider .
Since OM and OS are both radii, . Thus, is an isosceles triangle.
From part 1.1.1 (a), we know .
Draw a perpendicular from O to SM, let the intersection point be K. In , .
The line from the center perpendicular to a chord bisects the angle at the center.Express SM in terms of the radius and angle.
In the right-angled triangle :
Since OK is perpendicular to SM, K is the midpoint of SM.
Compare Equation 1 and Equation 2.
From Equation 1, we have .
Substitute this into Equation 2:Thus, it is proven that .
