The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the triangle ABC inscribed in a circle with center O, where α = angle BAC and β = angle BOC. We know that α is between 45° and 90°. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Angles**: - We have triangle ABC inscribed in a circle with center O. - Let α = angle BAC (angle at point A). - Let β = angle BOC (angle at the center O). 2. **Relationship Between Angles**: - According to the properties of circles, the angle at the center (β) is twice the angle at the circumference (α). - Therefore, we can write the relationship as: \[ β = 2α \] 3. **Substituting the Range of α**: - Given that \( 45° < α < 90° \), we can find the range for β: - If \( α = 45° \), then \( β = 2 \times 45° = 90° \). - If \( α = 90° \), then \( β = 2 \times 90° = 180° \). - Thus, we have: \[ 90° < β < 180° \] 4. **Evaluating the Options**: - We need to evaluate the given options based on the relationship \( β = 2α \) and the derived range for β. - Without specific options provided, we can conclude that any option that states \( β \) is equal to \( 2α \) is correct. 5. **Final Conclusion**: - Since we established that \( β = 2α \) and that \( β \) lies between 90° and 180°, we can conclude that the correct option is the one that reflects this relationship.
