$O$ is the centre of the circle. If $\angle ACB=40^{\circ}$, then find $\angle AOB$."


Given: In the given figure, $O$ is the centre of the circle. If $\angle ACB=40^{\circ}$.

To do: To find $\angle AOB$.

Solution:

Here, $AB$ is a chord.

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

Therefore $\angle AOB=2\angle ACB$

$\Rightarrow \angle AOB=40^{\circ}\times2=80^{\circ}$.

Thus, $\angle AOB=80^{\circ}$.
