Theorem: The angle in a semicircle is a right angle
Given : A circle with centre 0 with � at centre and � at the circumference of the circle .
RT.P. : the angle in a semicircle is a right angle. ie : ∠ ACB= 90o
Statements:
1 𢈊OB = 2� || angle at the centre is twice the angle at the circumference of a circle.
2 . � = ½𢈊OB || by statement 1
3 . � =½ x 180o || As ∠ AOB = 180o
4. &there4 � = 90o Proved
