Part a· 4 steps
To find angle
Angle is .
Identify the type of triangle .
Since is the center of the circle, and are both radii. Therefore, is an isosceles triangle with .
Determine the base angles of .
In an isosceles triangle, the angles opposite the equal sides are equal. So, .
Given , thus .Use the sum of angles in a triangle.
The sum of angles in is .
Solve for .
Angle is .
Part b
To find angle
Angle is .
Relate the angle at the center to the angle at the circumference.
Angle () is the angle subtended by arc at the center. Angle () is the angle subtended by the same arc at the circumference.
The angle at the center is twice the angle at the circumference.Substitute the value of and solve for .
Angle is .
Part c
To find angle
Angle is .
Apply the Alternate Segment Theorem.
is a tangent to the circle at . is the angle between the tangent and the chord .
According to the Alternate Segment Theorem, this angle is equal to the angle in the alternate segment, which is (angle ).Substitute the value of .
Angle is .
