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=2PRQ
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=2PRO      .......... (3)

And MOQ=2ORQ     ............ (4)

Case (1) : adding equations (3) and (4) we get

POM+MOQ=2PRO+2ORQ

POQ=2(PRO+ORQ)=2PRQ

POQ=2PRQ

Hence Proved.

Similarly, you can proceed for case (ii) and case (iii)
