1. Problem Description
ABCD are points on the circumference of a circle, with center O. PD is a tangent at D. Angle and angle . We need to calculate:
(i) Angle
(ii) Angle
(iii) Angle
(iv) Angle
2. Solution Steps
(i) To find angle :
Since angles in the same segment are equal, .
Also, we are given that .
Then .
(ii) To find angle :
The angle between a tangent and a chord is equal to the angle in the alternate segment. Therefore, .
(iii) To find angle :
Since (radii of the circle), triangle is isosceles, with .
(angle at the center is twice the angle at the circumference).
.
Therefore .
.
.
Since , then as they are angles in the same segment.
Another approach:
Since , .
The angles in quadrilateral ADBC add up to .
We have .
.
So, .
We know that the angle subtended by an arc at the centre is twice the angle subtended at the circumference. So .
However we also know , hence .
Now consider the quadrilateral , we see that . Then and , meaning
Consider triangle , then , meaning
, hence
. Also know that and , and .
Since . We have .
Now we want to find . . Thus .
(iv) To find angle :
As ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral, the opposite angles add up to .
Therefore .
.
3. Final Answer
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
