Hi All,

Angle property for a circle is that

"Angle in a semi circle is 90 degrees"

Can someone please tell is the reverse also true...i.e.

"If a angle in a circle is given to be 90 degrees...then is it necessary that angle is inscribed in a semi circle"....if yes, then can someone please explain why so ?

Thanks
Mohit

YEs the converse is true

Yes the converse is true. If the angle subtended by the chord is 90 degree, the chord is the diameter.
