Write down the length of TR, and give a reason.
(2)
2.2
Determine the value of x.
(5)
2.3
Hence write down the length of the radius and the distance from O to the chord.
(2)

Question 3

[12 MARKS]

In the diagram below, O is the centre of a circle and A, B, C and D lie on the circumference. OD ⊥ AB, with OD cutting AB at M. C lies on the major arc AB and ÔB̂A = 54°.

3.1
Determine, with reasons, the size of ÔÂB.
(3)
3.2
Determine, with reasons, the size of ÂÔB.
