prove that the angle which is subtended by an arc at the centre of a circle is double the size of the angle subtended at any point on the circumference
In ∆ ABC :-
AO = BO = CO
Angle BAO = ANGLE ABO =β & Angle CAO = Angle ACO = α
So Angle AOB + Angle BAO + Angle ABO = 180
Angle AOB = 180 - 2 β
(1)
Similarly Angle COA = 180 - 2
α
(2)
Angle AOB + Angle COA + Angle COB = 360
Angle COB = 360 - 360 + 2 α
+ 2 β
Angle COB = 2 α
+ 2 β
Angle BAC = α +
β
Hence Angle COB = 2 Angle BAC
