In the diagram below, M, N, R are points on the circle centre O. ∠ORN = 48° and ∠RNM = 124°. Find ∠OMN.

  • A. \(58^0\)
  • B. \(64^0\)
  • C. \(48^0\)
  • D. \(76^0\)

Correct Answer: D. \(76^0\)

Explanation

Reflex ∠MOR = 2 × 124° = 248° (angle at the centre is twice the angle at the circumference)

∠MOR = 360° - 248° = 112° (sum of angle at a point is 360°)

∠OMN = 360° - (124°+ 48° + 112°) (sum of angles in a quadrilateral is 360°)

= 360° - 284°

∴ ∠OMN = 76°
