Answer
Find out the measure, in degrees, of angle ABC .
To prove
The relationship between inscribed angles and their arcs
The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure the intercepted arc.
The formula is
As given in the diagram
The measure of the intercepted arc A to B is 120°.
Put value in the formula
∠ABC = 60°
Therefore the measure of the ∠ABC is 60° .
<u>Given</u>:
Given that the circle with center O.
The radius of the circle is OB.
The chord of the circle O is PQ and the length of PQ is 12 cm.
We need to determine the length of the segment PA.
<u>Length of the segment PA:</u>
We know that, "if a radius is perpendicular to the chord, then it bisects the chord and its arc".
Thus, we have;
Substituting the value PQ = 12, we get;
Thus, the length of the segment PA is 6 cm.
Hence, Option d is the correct answer.
