Q.3 (A)(2) In the following figure, point O is the centre of the circle and length of chord AB is equal to the radius of the circle. Find the measures of :
(i) ∠AOB
(ii) arc AB
(iii) ∠ACB
[Figure: circle with centre O; chord AB below the centre, C on the major arc AB above the centre; seg OA, seg OB, seg CA and seg CB drawn.]
by completing the activity.
Activity :
In \(\Delta AOB\),
AO = OB = AB
\(\therefore \Delta AOB\) is an ____ triangle.
\(\therefore m\angle AOB = ____\)
\(m\angle AOB = m(\text{arc AB}) = ____\) ......... (definition of measure of an arc)
\(m\angle ACB = \dfrac{1}{2} \times ____\) ......... (inscribed angle theorem)
\(= \dfrac{1}{2} \times 60^\circ\)
\(m\angle ACB = ____\)
