The correct Answer is:
To find the angle in a semicircle, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Draw a Circle**: Start by drawing a circle with a diameter. Label the endpoints of the diameter as points A and B. 2. **Identify the Center**: Mark the center of the circle as point O, which is the midpoint of the diameter AB. 3. **Draw a Triangle**: Choose any point C on the circumference of the circle. This point will help us form triangle ABC, where AB is the diameter. 4. **Understand the Angles**: According to the properties of circles, the angle subtended by the diameter at any point on the circle (in this case, angle ACB) is always a right angle (90 degrees). 5. **Apply the Angle Property**: We know that the angle subtended at the center (angle AOB) is twice the angle subtended at the circumference (angle ACB). Since AB is a straight line, angle AOB is 180 degrees. 6. **Calculate the Angle**: Using the property mentioned, we can express the relationship as: \[ \text{Angle ACB} = \frac{\text{Angle AOB}}{2} = \frac{180^\circ}{2} = 90^\circ \] 7. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the angle in a semicircle (angle ACB) is 90 degrees. ### Final Answer: The angle in a semicircle is 90 degrees (a right angle). ---

Show that any angle in a semi-circle is a right angle. The following arc the steps involved in showing the above result. Arrange them in sequential order. A) therefore angleACB=180^(@)/2=90^(@) B) The angle subtended by an arc at the center is double of the angle subtended by the same arc at any point on the remaining part of the circle. c) Let AB be a diameter of a circle with center D and C be any point on the circle. Join AC and BC. D) therefore angleAD = 2 xx angleACB 180^(@)=2angleACB(therefore angleADB=180^(@))
