if ABC is an arc of a circle and angleABC=135,then the ratio of arc PQR to the circumference is
Let r be the radius of the circle.
Given, ABC is the arc of circle.
Take a point D in the alternative segment. Join AD and CD.
∠ABC = 135° (Given)
∠ABC + ∠ADC = 180° (Sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180°)
∴ 135° + ∠ADC = 180°
⇒ ∠ADC = 180° – 135° = 45°
Now, ∠AOC = 2 × ∠ADC (The angle subtended by an arc of a circle at the centre is double the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle)
∴ ∠AOC = 2 × 45° = 90°
Thus, the arc ABC represent quadrant of the circle.
Length of arc ABC =
∴ Length of arc ABC =
⇒ Length of arc ABC : Circumference of the circle = 1 : 4
