- the figure below shows a circle with center z and diameter dl. determine which of the following must be right - angles: ∠zlo, ∠dol, ∠zlz, ∠ydl, ∠yde, ∠ydo.
Step1: Recall circle - angle properties
An angle inscribed in a semi - circle is a right angle. Also, a tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius at the point of tangency.
Step2: Analyze 1st figure
For the circle with center \(V\) and diameter \(ZG\), \(\angle ZPG\) is an inscribed angle subtended by the diameter \(ZG\). So \(\angle ZPG = 90^{\circ}\). Also, if \(PU\) is tangent to the circle at \(P\), then \(\angle ZPU=90^{\circ}\) and \(\angle GPU = 90^{\circ}\).
Step3: Analyze 2nd figure
For the circle with center \(R\) and diameter \(XY\), \(\angle XDY\) is an inscribed angle subtended by the diameter \(XY\), so \(\angle XDY = 90^{\circ}\). And if \(DE\) is tangent to the circle at \(D\), then \(\angle RDE=90^{\circ}\) and \(\angle ADY\) is not a right - angle (it is an inscribed angle that does not subtend a diameter), \(\angle ZAD\) is not a right - angle, \(\angle RAD\) is not a right - angle, \(\angle YAD\) is not a right - angle, \(\angle AYD\) is not a right - angle (it is an inscribed angle that does not subtend a diameter).
Step4: Analyze 3rd figure
For the circle with center \(L\), if \(FT\) is tangent to the circle at \(F\), then \(\angle LFT = 90^{\circ}\). \(\angle EOF\) is a central angle and not a right - angle (no information to suggest it is \(90^{\circ}\)), \(\angle ENF\) is an inscribed angle and not a right - angle (no information to suggest it is \(90^{\circ}\)), \(\angle ELF\) is a central angle and not a right - angle (no information to suggest it is \(90^{\circ}\)), \(\angle FPN\) is not a right - angle (no information to suggest it is \(90^{\circ}\)), \(\angle LFO\) is not a right - angle (no information to suggest it is \(90^{\circ}\)), \(\angle LEO\) is not a right - angle (no information to suggest it is \(90^{\circ}\)).
Step5: Analyze 4th figure
For the circle with center \(Z\) and diameter \(DL\), \(\angle DOL\) is a central angle and not a right - angle (no information to suggest it is \(90^{\circ}\)), \(\angle ZOL\) is not a right - angle (no information to suggest it is \(90^{\circ}\)), \(\angle ZDL\) is an inscribed angle subtended by the diameter \(DL\), so \(\angle ZDL=90^{\circ}\), \(\angle YDE\) is not a right - angle (no information to suggest it is \(90^{\circ}\)), \(\angle YDO\) is not a right - angle (no information to suggest it is \(90^{\circ}\)).
- Right - angles: \(\angle ZPG,\angle ZPU,\angle GPU\)
