Solution

1. Break Down the Problem

We have three points A A , B B , and C C lying on a circle, with AB AB being the diameter of the circle. We need to find the angle measure at point C C formed by the lines AC AC and BC BC .

2. Relevant Concepts

According to the Inscribed Angle Theorem, an angle subtended by a diameter of a circle is always 90 90^\circ . Thus, the angle ACB \angle ACB will be 90 90^\circ because C C is on the circle and AB AB is the diameter.

3. Analysis and Detail

  • Point C C lies on the circle.
  • The line segment AB AB is the diameter.
  • By the Inscribed Angle Theorem, any angle inscribed in a semicircle (formed by the diameter) measures 90 90^\circ .

4. Verify and Summarize

Since the theorem consistently applies to inscribed angles in circles, we can conclusively state that the angle at point C C is 90 90^\circ .

Final Answer

The angle measure at point C C is 90 90^\circ .
