(a) In the figure (i) given below, AD || BC. If ∠ACB = 35°. Find the measurement of ∠DBC. (b) In the figure (ii) given below, it is given that O is the centre of the circle and ∠AOC = 130°. Find ∠ ABC
(a) In the figure (i) given below, AD || BC. If ∠ACB = 35°. Find the measurement of ∠DBC. (b) In the figure (ii) given below, it is given that O is the centre of the circle and ∠AOC = 130°. Find ∠ ABC

Solution:

(a) Construction: Join AB

∠A = ∠C = 350 (Alt Angles)

∠ABC = 35o

(b) ∠AOC + reflex ∠AOC = 360o

130+ Reflex ∠AOC = 360o

Reflex
∠AOC = 360– 130= 230o

Now arc BC Subtends reflex ∠AOC at the centre and ∠ ABC at the remaining part of the circle.

Reflex ∠AOC = 2 ∠ABC

∠ABC =1/2 reflex ∠AOC

= ½ × 230= 115o
