(a) In the figure (i) given below, O is the center of the circle. If ∠AOC = 150°, find (i) ∠ABC (ii) ∠ADC (b) In the figure (i) given below, AC is a diameter of the given circle and ∠BCD = 75°. Calculate the size of (i) ∠ABC (ii) ∠EAF.

Solution:

(a) Given,
∠AOC = 150° and AD = CD

We know that an angle subtends by an arc of a circle

at the center is twice the angle subtended by the same arc

at any point on the remaining part of the circle.

(i) ∠AOC = 2 × ∠ABC

∠ABC = ∠AOC/2 = 150o/2 = 75o

(ii) From the figure, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral

∠ABC + ∠ADC = 180o

(Sum of opposite angels in a cyclic quadrilateral

Is 180o)

75o + ∠ADC = 180o

∠ADC + 180– 75o

∠ADC = 105o

(b) (i) AC is the diameter of the circle

∠ABC = 90(Angle in a semi-circle)

(ii) ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral

∠BAD + ∠BCD = 180o

∠BAD + 75= 180o

(∠BCD = 75o)

∠BAD = 180-75o = 105o

But ∠EAF = ∠BAD

(Vertically opposite angles)

∠EAF = 105o
