1. Problem Description

The problem states that ABCDABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral with AB=ADAB = AD and BC=DCBC = DC. ACAC is the diameter of the circle, and ADB=10\angle ADB = 10^\circ.
(a) We need to determine the special name given to cyclic quadrilateral ABCDABCD.
(b) We need to find the measures of ACD\angle ACD and ADC\angle ADC.

2. Solution Steps

(a) Since AB=ADAB = AD and BC=DCBC = DC, the quadrilateral ABCDABCD has two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal in length. This makes it a kite. Since ABCDABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral, it is a cyclic kite. Since ACAC is the diameter, it cuts the kite into two right triangles so ABCDABCD is a special kind of cyclic kite.
(b) (i) We are given that ADB=10\angle ADB = 10^\circ. Since angles subtended by the same chord at the circumference are equal, ACB=ADB=10\angle ACB = \angle ADB = 10^\circ.
Also, since ACAC is the diameter, ADC=90\angle ADC = 90^\circ and ABC=90\angle ABC = 90^\circ. In ADC\triangle ADC, we have DAC+ACD+ADC=180\angle DAC + \angle ACD + \angle ADC = 180^\circ.
Since AD=ABAD=AB, ADB=ACB=10\angle ADB = \angle ACB = 10^{\circ}. Since ACAC is a diameter, ABC=90\angle ABC = 90^{\circ} and ADC=90\angle ADC = 90^{\circ}. ACD\angle ACD is the angle we are seeking.
Since ADC=90\angle ADC = 90^\circ, DAC=BAC=90ACD\angle DAC = \angle BAC = 90^\circ - \angle ACD but we don't know ACD\angle ACD.
Since ACB=10\angle ACB = 10^{\circ} and ABC=90\angle ABC = 90^{\circ}, BAC=180(90+10)=80\angle BAC = 180^{\circ} - (90^{\circ} + 10^{\circ}) = 80^{\circ}.
Since AB=ADAB=AD, ABD\triangle ABD is an isosceles triangle, so ABD=ADB=10\angle ABD = \angle ADB = 10^{\circ}, hence DAB=1802(10)=160\angle DAB = 180^{\circ} - 2(10^{\circ}) = 160^{\circ}.
Also DAC=DABCAB\angle DAC = \angle DAB - \angle CAB. CAB=80\angle CAB = 80^\circ. Hence DAC=16080=80\angle DAC = 160^\circ - 80^\circ = 80^\circ.
In ADC\triangle ADC, DAC+ACD+ADC=180\angle DAC + \angle ACD + \angle ADC = 180^\circ, so 80+ACD+90=18080^\circ + \angle ACD + 90^\circ = 180^\circ, which implies ACD=1808090=10\angle ACD = 180^\circ - 80^\circ - 90^\circ = 10^\circ.
(ii) Since ACAC is a diameter, ADC=90\angle ADC = 90^\circ.

3. Final Answer

(a) Kite
(b) (i) ACD=10\angle ACD = 10^\circ
(ii) ADC=90\angle ADC = 90^\circ
