Theorem 19: The angle at the centre of a circle standing on a

given arc is twice the angle at any point of the circle standing
on the same arc
USE THE FORWARD AND THE BACK ARROWS ON THE KEYBOARD TO VIEW AND REWIND PROOF.

Given:
circle
To Prove:

A circle with centre O, with points A, B and C on the

A
|BOC | = 2 | BAC|

Construction: Join A to O and extend to R

Proof:

In the triangle AOB

| AO| = | OB |
|OBA | = | OAB|

Radii
Theorem 2 (isosceles )

|BOR | = | OBA| + | OAB|

|BOR | = | OAB| + | OAB|

R
Theorem 6 (exterior angle)
B

|BOR | = 2| OAB|

Similarly |ROC | = 2| OAC|

|BOC | = 2| BAC|
