The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the geometry of the semicircle and the triangle formed by points A, B, and C. Let's break down the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Draw the semicircle and label the points - Draw a semicircle with diameter AB. - Let A and B be the endpoints of the diameter. - Choose an arbitrary point C on the semicircle (not equal to A or B). - Mark the center of the semicircle as O. ### Step 2: Identify the angles in triangle ABC - Since AB is the diameter of the semicircle, by the inscribed angle theorem, we know that angle ACB is a right angle (90 degrees). - Therefore, we can write: \[ \angle ACB = 90^\circ \] ### Step 3: Understand the incenter S - The point S is the incenter of triangle ABC, which is the point where the angle bisectors of the triangle intersect. - The angles at A and B can be denoted as: \[ \angle CAB = x \quad \text{and} \quad \angle ABC = y \] - Since the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees, we have: \[ x + y + 90^\circ = 180^\circ \implies x + y = 90^\circ \] ### Step 4: Find angles at S - The angles at S can be expressed as: \[ \angle SAB = \frac{x}{2} \quad \text{and} \quad \angle SBA = \frac{y}{2} \] - Therefore, we can write: \[ \angle ASB = 180^\circ - \left(\angle SAB + \angle SBA\right) = 180^\circ - \left(\frac{x}{2} + \frac{y}{2}\right) \] ### Step 5: Substitute the values - Since \( x + y = 90^\circ \), we have: \[ \angle ASB = 180^\circ - \left(\frac{90^\circ}{2}\right) = 180^\circ - 45^\circ = 135^\circ \] ### Conclusion - Therefore, the measure of angle ASB is always 135 degrees, regardless of the position of point C on the semicircle. - The correct option is: \[ \text{Option C: } \angle ASB = 135^\circ \text{ for all positions of C.} \]
