Solution

Circle properties:

A straight line that divides the circle into two semi-circles.It is called the diameter of the circle.

An arc whose measure equals 180° is called a semicircle, since it divides the circle in two. Every pair of endpoints on a circle either defines one minor arc and one major arc, or two semicircles. Only when the endpoints are endpoints of a diameter,then the circle is divided into semicircles.

Hence,180° in a circle is a semicircle which makes180°angle on center.
