Correct Answer: 60°
Solution : Given that the length of the chord AB (d) is equal to the radius (r), we can substitute r for d in the formula: $\theta = 2 \times \sin^{-1}(\frac{\text{Length of chord}}{2 \times \text{radius}})$ This simplifies to: ⇒ $\theta = 2 \times \sin^{-1}(\frac{r}{2r})$ ⇒ $\theta = 2 \times \sin^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})$ ⇒ $\theta = 2 \times 30º$ ⇒ $\theta = 60º$ Hence, the correct answer is 60º
