Let A and B be two points on a circle with centre O. (i) Are there points X, Y on the circle, on the same side of AB, such that ∠AXB is different from ∠AYB?

  • 2

Yes. If X and Y lie on the same side of AB on the circle, then ∠AXB and ∠AYB subtend the same chord AB. Hence, they are equal, so they cannot be different.

  1. No. There cannot be such points X and Y on the same side of AB for which ∠AXB is different from ∠AYB. According to Theorem 9, an arc subtends the same angle at every point on the remaining part of the circle. Therefore, when X and Y lie on the same side of AB, both angles subtend the same chord AB and are equal.
