ABC is a triangle inscribed in a circle with centre O. Let a = BAC, where 45° < a < 90°. Let p = BOC. Which one of the following is correct ?

  • cosβ = 1 - tan2α1 + tan2α

  • cosβ = 1 + tan2α1 - tan2α

  • cosβ = 2tanα1 + tan2α

  • sinβ = 2sin2α


A.

cosβ = 1 - tan2α1 + tan2α

We know:

Angle made by a chord (i.e., BC) at centre is two timesangle made by the same chord at the circle circumference

i.e. BOC = 2 × BACβ = 2α  Taking cos of both sidecosβ = cos2αcosβ = 1 - tan2α1 + tan2α     cos2α = 1 - tan2α1 + tan2α
