Q.The equilateral triangle XYZ is inscribed in a circle. If O is the center of the circle, what is the measure of \(\angle\)YOZ? (a) 60° (b) 30° (c) 90° (d) 120°
Answer: D
Each angle of an equilateral triangle is 60\(^\circ\). Now, the central angle \(\angle\)YOZ subtended by arc YZ and the inscribed angle \(\angle\)YXZ are related. \(\therefore \angle\)YOZ = 2 × \(\angle\)YXZ = 2 × 60\(^\circ\) = 120\(^\circ\)
