In the figure, AB and CD are two diameters of circle such that ∠COA = 48°. If E is any point on arc CB, what is the measure of ∠CEB
A. 114° B. 100° C. 80° D. 96° E. 40°
Important: Since AB and CD are both diameters, their point of intersection (point O) must be the center of the circle.
Let's use some useful circle properties
First let's add a blue line, to divide ∠CEB into 2 angles
CD is the DIAMETER of the circle Since ∠CED is an inscribed angle containing (aka "holding") the diameter, we can conclude that ∠CED = 90°
Now recognize that the intersection of AB and CD creates two equal (vertically opposite) angles, we can conclude the angle opposite the 48° is also 48°
Now recognize that we have two angles containing (aka "holding") the arc BD Property: If a CENTRAL angle and an INSCRIBED angle contain the same arc, then the CENTRAL angle is TWICE the INSCRIBED angle This means that ∠DEB = 24°
