Question
Prove that the angle in a segment shorter than a semicircle is greater than a right angle.
✓
Answer
Given: $\angle\text{ACB}$ is an angle in minor segment. To prove: $\angle\text{ACB}>90^\circ$ Proof: By degree measure theorem Reflex $\angle\text{AOB}=2\angle\text{ACB}$ And reflex $\angle\text{AOB}>180^\circ$ Then, $2\angle\text{ACB}>180^\circ$$\Rightarrow\angle\text{ACB}>\frac{180^\circ}{2}$$\Rightarrow\angle\text{ACB}>90^\circ$
