Question
You in the adjoining figure there is a circle with center O.
If DC, diameter AB and m less than AOC = 120 degrees, then M less than ACD is?
Solution
To find the measure of angle MCD, we can use the properties of angles in a circle.
-
Since AB is a diameter, angle AOB is a right angle (90 degrees).
-
Angle AOC is given as 120 degrees.
-
Angle AOB and angle AOC are both angles that intercept the same arc AC. According to the inscribed angle theorem, these angles are equal in measure.
-
Therefore, angle AOB = angle AOC = 120 degrees.
-
Angle MCD is an inscribed angle that intercepts the same arc AC as angle AOC.
-
By the inscribed angle theorem, angle MCD has half the measure of the intercepted arc.
-
Since angle AOC is 120 degrees, the intercepted arc AC is also 120 degrees.
-
Therefore, angle MCD = 1/2 * 120 degrees = 60 degrees.
So, the measure of angle MCD is 60 degrees.
