A chord AB of a circle is equal in length to the radius. What angle does AB subtend at a point on the major arc?

Competition practiceGeometry
  • A30°
  • B60°
  • C45°
  • D150°

Step-by-Step Solution

With OA = OB = AB, triangle OAB is equilateral and ∠AOB = 60°. A point on the major arc sees AB at half of this: 30° (a point on the minor arc would see 150°).
Answer: A) 30°
