In the diagram, O is the centre of the circle. If angle NLM = 74 deg, angle LMN = 39 deg and angle LOM = x, find the value of x.

  • A. 134 degCorrect
  • B. 126 deg
  • C. 113 deg
  • D. 106 deg

Explanation

In triangle LMN: angle LNM = 180-(74+39) = 67 deg (angle sum in a triangle). Since angle LOM is the angle at the centre and angle LNM is the angle at the circumference standing on the same arc LM, angle LOM = 2 x angle LNM = 2 x 67 = 134 deg.
