The angle inscribed in the semicircle is a right angle. Prove the result by completing the following activity.

Given: ∠ABC is inscribed angle in a semicircle with center M.
To prove: ∠ABC is a right angle.
Proof: Segment AC is a diameter of the circle.
∴ m(arc AXC) = `square`
Arc AXC is intercepted by the inscribed angle ∠ABC
∠ABC = `square` ...[Inscribed angle theorem]
= `1/2 xx square`
∴ m∠ABC = `square`
∴ ∠ABC is a right angle.

उत्तर
Proof: Segment AC is a diameter of the circle.
∴ m(arc AXC) = \[\boxed{180°}\] ...(i) [Measure of semi circular arc is 180°]
Arc AXC is intercepted by the inscribed angle ∠ABC
∠ABC = \[\boxed{\frac{1}{2} \text{m(arc AXC)}}\] ...[Inscribed angle theorem]
= \[\frac{1}{2} \times \boxed{180°}\] ...[From (i)]
∴ m∠ABC = \[\boxed{90°}\]
∴ ∠ABC is a right angle.

In the figure, ΔABC is an equilateral triangle. The angle bisector of ∠B will intersect the circumcircle ΔABC at point P. Then prove that: CQ = CA.

In the above figure, chord PQ and chord RS intersect each other at point T. If ∠STQ = 58° and ∠PSR = 24°, then complete the following activity to verify:

∠STQ = `1/2` [m(arc PR) + m(arc SQ)]
Activity: In ΔPTS,
∠SPQ = ∠STQ – `square` ......[∵ Exterior angle theorem]
∴ ∠SPQ = 34°
∴ m(arc QS) = 2 × `square`° = 68° ....... ∵ `square`
Similarly, m(arc PR) = 2∠PSR = `square`°
∴ `1/2` [m(arc QS) + m(arc PR)] = `1/2` × `square`° = 58° ......(I)
But ∠STQ = 58° .....(II) (given)
∴ `1/2` [m(arc PR) + m(arc QS)] = ∠______ ......[From (I) and (II)]
