Question 5(a)
Solution
(a) ∠NYB = 50°, ∠YNB = 20°.
In
∆YNB,
∠NYB + ∠YNB + ∠YBN = 180o
50o + 20o + ∠YBN = 180o
∠YBN + 70o = 180o
∠YBN = 180o – 70o = 110o
But ∠MAN = ∠YBN
(Angles in the same segment)
∠MAN = 110o
Major arc MN subtend reflex ∠MON at the
Centre and ∠MAN at the remaining part of
the choice.
Reflex ∠MAN at the remaining part of the circle
Reflex ∠MON = 2 ∠MAN = 2 × 110o =220o
