Prove that the angle subtended by an arc at the center is double the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.

Solution

Join AO and extend it to point B

In APO

OP=OA (radius)

OPA=OAP (angle opposite to equal sides)

BOP=OPA+OAP (exterior angle property)

BOP=2OAP(1)

In AQO

OQ=OA (radius)

OQA=OAQ (angle opposite to equal sides)

BOQ=OQA+OAQ (exterior angle property)

BOQ=2OAQ(2)

Adding (1) and (2)

BOP+BOQ=2(OAP+OAQ)

POQ=2PAQ
