उत्तर
We will associate the given information in the following figure.
Since AO = r (radius of circle)
AM = `r/2` (given)
Extended OM to D where MD = `r/2`
Consider the triangles AOM and triangle AMD
OM = MD
`angleAMO = angle AMD` = 90°
AM = AM (common Sides
So by SSS property
Δ AMO ≅ Δ DM
So AD = AO = r and OD=OM+MD=r
Hence ΔAOD is equilateral triangle
So `angle OAD` = 60°
We know that in equilateral triangle altitudes divide the vertex angles
Therefore `angleOAM = (angleOAD)/2`
`=60/2`
= 30°
