1. Problem Description

ABCD are points on the circumference of a circle, with center O. PD is a tangent at D. Angle ADB=28ADB = 28^{\circ} and angle CBD=47CBD = 47^{\circ}. We need to calculate:
(i) Angle BADBAD
(ii) Angle CDPCDP
(iii) Angle CABCAB
(iv) Angle BCDBCD

2. Solution Steps

(i) To find angle BADBAD:
Since angles in the same segment are equal, CAD=CBD=47\angle CAD = \angle CBD = 47^{\circ}.
Also, we are given that ADB=28\angle ADB = 28^{\circ}.
Then BAD=CAD+DAB=47+28=75\angle BAD = \angle CAD + \angle DAB = 47^{\circ} + 28^{\circ} = 75^{\circ}.
(ii) To find angle CDPCDP:
The angle between a tangent and a chord is equal to the angle in the alternate segment. Therefore, CDP=CAD=47\angle CDP = \angle CAD = 47^{\circ}.
(iii) To find angle CABCAB:
Since OC=OBOC = OB (radii of the circle), triangle BOCBOC is isosceles, with OBC=OCB\angle OBC = \angle OCB.
BOC=2×BAC\angle BOC = 2 \times \angle BAC (angle at the center is twice the angle at the circumference).
BAC=BADCAD=7547=28\angle BAC = \angle BAD - \angle CAD = 75^{\circ} - 47^{\circ}= 28^{\circ}.
Therefore BOC=2×28=56\angle BOC = 2 \times 28^{\circ} = 56^{\circ}.
OBC=OCB=(18056)/2=124/2=62\angle OBC = \angle OCB = (180^{\circ} - 56^{\circ})/2 = 124^{\circ}/2 = 62^{\circ}.
ABC=ABD+DBC=ABD+47\angle ABC = \angle ABD + \angle DBC = \angle ABD + 47^{\circ}.
Since ADB=28\angle ADB = 28^{\circ}, then ACB=ADB=28\angle ACB = \angle ADB = 28^{\circ} as they are angles in the same segment.
Another approach:
Since OA=OBOA = OB, OAB=OBA\angle OAB = \angle OBA.
The angles in quadrilateral ADBC add up to 360360^{\circ}.
We have BCD=180BAD=18075=105\angle BCD = 180^{\circ} - \angle BAD = 180^{\circ} - 75^{\circ} = 105^{\circ}.
BCD=BCA+ACD=ADB+ACD=28+ACD\angle BCD = \angle BCA + \angle ACD = \angle ADB + \angle ACD = 28^{\circ} + \angle ACD.
So, ACD=10528=77\angle ACD = 105^{\circ} - 28^{\circ} = 77^{\circ}.
We know that the angle subtended by an arc at the centre is twice the angle subtended at the circumference. So BOD=2BAD=2×75=150\angle BOD = 2\angle BAD = 2 \times 75 = 150.
However we also know CAD=47\angle CAD = 47, hence COD=2CAD=94\angle COD = 2\angle CAD = 94.
Now consider the quadrilateral AOBDAOBD, we see that ABD=180ACD\angle ABD = 180 - \angle ACD. Then ABC=ABD+47\angle ABC = \angle ABD + 47 and BOC=56BOC = 56, meaning BCO=OCB=(18056)/2=62BCO = OCB = (180 - 56)/2= 62
CAB=47(ACB=28)\angle CAB = 47- (\angle ACB = 28)
Consider triangle ABCABC, then BAC+ABC+ACB=180\angle BAC + \angle ABC + \angle ACB = 180, meaning
CAB+(ABD+DBC)+ADB=180\angle CAB + (\angle ABD + \angle DBC) + \angle ADB = 180, hence
CAB+(ABD+47)+28=180\angle CAB + (\angle ABD + 47) + 28=180. Also know that CAD=47\angle CAD = 47 and DAB=28\angle DAB = 28, and CAB=BADDAB\angleCAD=7547angle??\angle CAB = \angle BAD - \angle DAB - \angleCAD = \angle 75- 47 - angle??.
Since BCD=105\angle BCD = 105^{\circ}. We have ACD=BCDBCA=10528=77\angle ACD = \angle BCD - \angle BCA = 105^{\circ} - 28^{\circ} = 77^{\circ}.
Now we want to find CAB\angle CAB. CAB=CADBAD=7547\angle CAB = \angle CAD - \angle BAD = 75^{\circ} - 47^{\circ}. Thus CAB=28\angle CAB = 28^{\circ}.
(iv) To find angle BCDBCD:
As ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral, the opposite angles add up to 180180^{\circ}.
Therefore BCD+BAD=180\angle BCD + \angle BAD = 180^{\circ}.
BCD=180BAD=18075=105\angle BCD = 180^{\circ} - \angle BAD = 180^{\circ} - 75^{\circ} = 105^{\circ}.

3. Final Answer

(i) BAD=75\angle BAD = 75^{\circ}
(ii) CDP=47\angle CDP = 47^{\circ}
(iii) CAB=28\angle CAB = 28^{\circ}
(iv) BCD=105\angle BCD = 105^{\circ}
