Team Careers360 · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: $60^{\circ}$

Solution :
Given: AB is the chord of a circle such that AB = 10 cm.
The diameter of the circle is 20 cm.
The line segment connecting any two points on the circle's circumference is known as the chord of a circle.
In $ riangle AOC$,
AO = 10 cm (radius)
⇒ AC = 5 cm
⇒ $\cos heta =\frac{AC}{AO}$
⇒ $\cos heta =\frac{5}{10}$
⇒ $\cos heta =\frac{1}{2}=\cos 60^{\circ}$
⇒ $ heta =60^{\circ}$
OA = OB (radius)
So, $\angle ABO = 60º$ and $\angle AOB = 60º$
Hence, the correct answer is $60^{\circ}$.
