Ans. Degree Measure Theorem states that angle subtended by an arc of a circle at the centre is twice the angle subtended by it at any point on the circle.
Given : An arc PQ of a circle C with center O and radius r with a point R in arc ⌢QP other than P or Q.To Prove : ∠POQ=2∠PRQ
Construction : Join RO and draw the ray ROM.
Proof : There will be three cases as
(i) ⌢PQis a minor arc
(ii)⌢PQ is a semi-circle
(iii)⌢PQ is a major arc
[Image Here ]
In each of these three cases, the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of two interior opposite angles.
Therefore, ∠POM=∠PRO+∠RPO ............ (1)
∠MOQ=∠ORQ+∠RQO.......... (2)
In △OPR and △OQR
Now, OP = OR and OR = OQ (radii of the same circle)
∠PRO=∠RPO and ∠ORQ=∠RQO (angles opposite to the equal sides are equal)
Hence, ∠POM=2∠PRO .......... (3)
And ∠MOQ=2∠ORQ ............ (4)
Case (1) : adding equations (3) and (4) we get
∠POM+∠MOQ=2∠PRO+2∠ORQ
∠POQ=2(∠PRO+∠ORQ)=2∠PRQ
∠POQ=2∠PRQ
Hence Proved.
Similarly, you can proceed for case (ii) and case (iii)
