If $O$ is the centre of the circle and $\angle ACB=50^{\circ}$, then find reflex $\angle AOB$."


Given: In the given figure, a circle with centre $O$ and $\angle ACB=50^{\circ}$.

To do: To find the reflex $\angle AOB$.

Solution:

Here, $AB$ is chord.

As known, angle subtended by chord at the centre of a circle is double of the angle subtended at it's circumference.

$\therefore \angle AOB=2\angle ACB$

$\Rightarrow \angle AOB=50^{\circ}\times2=100^{\circ}$

$\therefore$ Reflex $\angle AOB=360^{\circ}-100^{\circ}=260^{\circ}$

Thus, reflex $\angle AOB=260^{\circ}$.
