Problem with Vibration and Waves AP French?

In summary, the conversation is discussing the value of COB, which is determined to be 90-δ based on the given information about the angles. One person initially thought it was not 90-δ, but later realizes their mistake. The conversation ends with a note of thanks.

Hi All,

Kindly see the attached Pictures.

I think COB is not 90 - δ/2
But
COB is 90-δ

Can someone confirm.

Thanks.

No. It is over 2.
Why do you think is not so?
 
  • #3
∠'CBO' = 90 and ∠'OCB' = δ
∴ from the Δ 'OCB' we find that :
∠'COB' = 180-90-δ = 90-δ

Why do you think CBO is 90? These triangles seem to be isosceles and not right-angle. Aren't these triangles all equal?
Otherwise how do you know that the angle at OCB is delta?

Ya, you r right, i got it -_- .
My mind played tricks on me, i had the wrong mental image of an inscribed polygon in a circle, haven't done geometry in sometime.

Thanks
