1. Problem Description
The problem consists of two parts. Part (a) asks to find the measures of angle and angle given that the angle between line and the line is . Part (b) asks for the special name of the cyclic quadrilateral .
2. Solution Steps
(a) (i) To find angle :
Since the line is a tangent to the circle at point , the angle between the tangent and the chord is equal to the angle in the alternate segment, which is the angle . Thus, .
Also, because they are radii of the circle. Since , triangle is an isosceles triangle. Also, angle . Then angle .
Then .
Angle .
The angle is a straight line because is a diameter of the circle.
Then . Also, the angle subtended at the center is twice the angle subtended at the circumference. Therefore, .
, which implies that .
Now we know . , so .
In triangle , since , then .
So, . . So, . Therefore, .
Since , then .
Finally, .
(a) (ii) To find angle :
is a straight line because is the diameter of the circle and is tangent to the circle at point .
is equal to .
The measure of is since it is subtended by the diameter.
is a cyclic quadrilateral. So . Also, .
.
Also, .
We have . .
is the diameter of the circle. is not necessarily cyclic quadrilateral because and are parallel to each other.
.
Since is tangent to the circle at , .
.
Since , triangle is an isosceles triangle. Therefore .
is a straight line and thus . .
We have and .
.
Also .
If is a straight line, then .
If is an isosceles trapezoid, then . Then .
Then , which implies and .
Since is parallel to , then .
Also . Then , and . Therefore, .
(b) The cyclic quadrilateral is an isosceles trapezoid because .
3. Final Answer
(a) (i)
(ii)
(b) Isosceles Trapezoid
