Q. 1 I3.7( 16 Votes )
Four alternative answers for each of the following questions are given. Choose the correct alternative.
Points A, B, C are on a circle, such that m(arc AB) = m(arc BC) = 120°. Nopoint, except point B, is common to the arcs. Which is the type of ∆ ABC?
A. Equilateral triangle
B. Scalene triangle
C. Right angled triangle
D. Isosceles triangle
Answer :
Angle subtended by the arcs at centre = 120°
⇒ Angle subtended by the arc at the remaining part of the circle = 60° {The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of the arc intercepted by it.}
∵ Interior angles of the triangle ABC = 60°
∴It is an equilateral triangle.
