    Question

    Now a chord of a circle is such that AB = 10 cm. If the

    diameter of the circle is 20 cm, then the angle subtended by the chord at the center is.
    A 45° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 30° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 60° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 90° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Radius of circle= 10 cm Length of chord= 10 cm OA =10 =AB =OB now, draw a perpendicular on the chord from the center of the circle which divides the chord into two equal parts. In AAOC OA =10 =AB =OB AD=DB= 5 cm cosec = AD /AO =5 /10 = 1/ 2 = cos60° θ = 60° Hence, the angle subtended by the chord is 60°.
