Problem
A circle is centered at , is a diameter and is a point on the circle with . What is the degree measure of ?
Solution 1
Assuming we do not already know an inscribed angle is always half of its central angle, we will try a different approach. Since is the center, and are radii and they are congruent. Thus, is an isosceles triangle. Also, note that and are supplementary, then . Since is isosceles, then . They also sum to , so each angle is .
Solution 2 (Alcumus)
Note that . Because triangle is isosceles, .
