Given:- O is the centre of the circle. ∠OAB and ∠OCB are 30° and 40° respectively.
Construction:- Join AC
Let us assumed that, ∠OAC = ∠OCA = x
∠AOC = 180˚ – 2x
∠BAC = 30˚+x
∠BCA = 40˚+x
In ΔABC
∠ABC = 180˚ – ∠BAC – ∠BCA
∠ABC = 180˚-(30˚+x) – (40˚ + x)
∠ABC = 180˚ – 30˚ – x – 40˚ – x
∠ABC = 110˚ – 2x
∠AOC = 2∠ABC (Angle at the centre is double the angle at the circumference)
180˚ – 2x = 2(110˚ – 2x)
2x = 40˚
x = 20˚
∠AOC = 180˚ – 2×40˚
∠AOC = 140˚
Hence, the ∠AOC is 140˚

65˚ + 70˚ + ∠ADB = 180˚
∠ADB = 180˚-135˚
∠ADB = 45˚
∠ABC = ∠ADB + ∠BDC
∠ABC = 45˚ + 45˚
∠ABC = 90˚
Since, ∠ADC is the angle of semiarid,

∠ACB = 1/2(360˚ – 140˚)
∠ACB = 1/2(220˚)
∠ACB = 110˚
OA = OB (Radius of same circle)
∠OBA = ∠OAB
= 180˚-140˚/2
= 40˚/2
= 20˚
∠CAB = 50˚-20˚
∠CAB = 30˚
In ΔCAB,
∠CBA = 180˚ – 110˚-30˚
∠CBA = 40˚
∠OBC = ∠CBA+∠OBA
∠OBC = 40˚+20˚

Solution:
In ΔABC,
∠CBA = 50˚
∠CAB = 75˚
∠ACB = 180˚- (∠CBA + ∠CAB)
∠ACB = 180˚ – (∠CBA + ∠CAB)
∠ACB = 180˚ – (50˚ + 75˚)
∠ACB = 180˚ – 125˚
∠ACB = 55˚
∠ADB = ∠ACB = 55˚ (Angle subtended by the same chord on the circle are equal)
Again,
ΔABD,
∠DAB + ∠ABD + ∠ADB = 180˚
∠DAB + ∠ABD + 55˚= 180˚
∠DAB + ∠ABD = 180˚-55˚
∠DAB + ∠ABD = 125˚

∠AED = ∠C (corresponding angles)
∠ADE = ∠AED
AD = AE
AB – AD = AC – AE (AB = AC)
BD = CE

b = 1/2 (360˚ – a)
2b = 360˚ – a
a + 2b = 180˚

It is given that, two chords AB and CD intersect each other at P inside the circle. OA, OC and OD are joined.
Need to Prove: – ∠AOC + ∠BOD = 2∠APC
By Construction: – Join AD.
Proof:
Arc AC subtends ∠AOC at the centre and ∠ADC at the remaining part of the circle.
∠AOC = 2∠ADC________(1)
Again,
∠BOD = 2∠BAD________(2)
By adding both the equations,
∠AOC + ∠BOD = 2∠ADC + 2∠BAD
∠AOC + ∠BOD = 2(∠ADC + ∠BAD)___________(3)
In ΔPAD,
∠APC = ∠PAD + ∠ADC
∠APC = ∠BAD + ∠ADC___________(4)
From equation (3) and (4)
∠AOC + ∠BOD = 2∠APC
Hence, the sum of the angles subtended by the arcs AC and BD as the centre O is equal to twice the angle APC.

∠RMS = 90˚ – 29˚
∠RMS = 61˚
∠RNM = 180˚ – ∠RSM (by angle sum property of triangle RMS)
∠RNM = 180˚ – 61˚
∠RNM = 119˚ (Pair of opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary).
(ii) Join RS||NM
∠NMR = ∠MRS = 29˚ (Alternate angles)
∠NMR = 90˚ + 29˚
∠NMR = 119˚
∠NRS + ∠NMS = 180˚ (Pair of opposite angles in cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary)
∠NRM + 29˚ + 119˚ = 180˚
∠NRM + 148˚ = 180˚
∠NRM = 180˚ – 148˚

Also, AB || CD
∠BAD = ∠ADC = 25˚ (Alternate angles)
∠BAC = ∠BAD + ∠CAD
∠BAC = 25˚ + 90˚
∠BAC = 115˚
∠ADB = 180˚ – 25˚ – ∠BAC
∠ADB = 180˚ – 25˚ – 115˚
∠ADB = 40˚ (Pair of opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary)

PQDB is a cyclic quadrilateral.
∠PQD + ∠DBP = 180˚_________(2) (Pair of opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary)
∠PQC + ∠PQD = 180˚_________(3) (CQD is a line)
By Equation (1), (2) and (3)
∠CAP + ∠DBP = 180˚
∠CAB + ∠DBA = 180˚
Hence, we know that, if a transversal line intersects two lines such that a pair of interior angles on the same side of the transversal is supplementary, then the two lines are parallel.
AC || BD.

From equation (1)
∠CDA = 180˚ – ∠PAD (we know that the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary)
∠ABC = 180 – ∠CDA
∠ABC = 180 – (180˚ – ∠PAD)
∠ABC = 180 – 180 + ∠PAD
∠ABC = ∠PAD
∠ABC = ∠DCB = ∠PAD = ∠PDA
Hence, AD || BC.

∠POQ = ∠QOR = ∠ROS = (150˚)/3
∠POQ = ∠QOR = ∠ROS = 50˚
In ΔOPQ,
OP = OQ (radius of a circle)
∠OPQ = ∠OQP
∠OPQ + ∠OQP + ∠POQ = 180˚

By adding equation (1) and (2)
∠PAD + ∠ADP + ∠APD + ∠QBC + ∠BCQ + ∠BQC = 180˚ + 180˚
∠PAD + ∠ADP + ∠APD + ∠QBC + ∠BCQ + ∠BQC = 360˚
∠PAD + ∠ADP + ∠QBC + ∠BCQ = 1/2 [∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D]
∠PAD + ∠ADP + ∠QBC + ∠BCQ = 1/2×360˚
∠PAD + ∠ADP + ∠QBC + ∠BCQ = 180˚
∠APD + ∠BQC = 360˚ – 180˚
∠APD + ∠BQC = 180˚

AF || CB and DA is produced to E such that ∠ADC = 92˚ and ∠FAE = 20˚
Now we need to find the measure of ∠BCD
In cyclic quadrilateral ABCD,
∠B + ∠D = 180˚
∠B + 92˚ = 180˚
∠B = 180˚ – 92˚
∠B = 88˚
Since AF || CB,∠FAB = ∠B = 88˚
∠FAE = 20˚ (given)
Ext. ∠BAE = ∠BAF + ∠FAE
Ext. ∠BAE = 88˚ + 22˚
Ext. ∠BAE = 108˚
Ext. ∠BAE = ∠BCD
∠BCD = 108˚

Question 9. If I is the in centre of triangle ABC and Al when produced meets the circumcircle of triangle ABC in points D. if ∠BAC = 66° and ∠ABC = 80˚.calculate:
(i) ∠DBC
(ii) ∠IBC
(iii) ∠BIC

Solution:

By construction join DB and DC, IB and IC,
∠BAC = 66˚,∠ABC = 80˚, I is the in centre of the ΔABC,
(i) Since ∠DBC and ∠DAC are in the same segment,
∠DBC = ∠DAC

(iii) ∠BAC = 66˚ and ∠ABC = 80˚
In ΔABC,
∠ACB = 180˚ – (∠ABC + ∠BAC)
∠ACB = 180˚ – (80˚ + 66˚)
∠ACB = 180˚ – (156˚)
∠ACB = 180˚ – 156˚
∠ACB = 34˚
Since IC bisects the ∠C
∠ICB = 1/2 ∠C
∠ICB = 1/2×34˚
∠ICB = 17˚
Now in ΔIBC,
∠IBC + ∠ICB + ∠BIC = 180˚
40˚ + 17˚ + ∠BIC = 180˚
∠BIC = 180˚ – 57˚
∠BIC = 123˚

Question 10. In the given figure, AB = AD = DC = PB and ∠ DBC = x°. Determine, in terms of x:

Hence or otherwise, prove that AP is parallel to DB.

Solution:

It is given that, In the figure, AB = AD = DC = PB and DBC = x˚
Join AC and BD.
Need to find:- the measure of ∠ABD and ∠APB.
Proof: ∠DAC = ∠DBC = x (angles in the same segment)
∠DCA = ∠DAC = x (AD = DC)
We have,
∠ABD = ∠DAC (angles in the same segment)
In ΔABP,
Ext. ∠ABD = ∠BAP + ∠APB
∠BAP = ∠APB (AB = BP)
2×x = ∠APB + ∠APB
2x = 2∠APB
x = ∠APB
∠APB = ∠DBC = x
These are corresponding angles
Hence, AP‖DB┤

Question 11. In the given figure; ABC, AEQ and CEP are straight lines. Show that ∠APE and ∠ CQE are supplementary.

Solution:

It is given that, in the figure ABC, AEQ and CEP are straight line.
Need to prove: ∠APE + ∠CQE = 180˚
By construction: – Join EB
Proof: –
In cyclic quadrilateral ABEP,
∠APE + ∠ABE = 180˚_________(1)
In cyclic quadrilateral BCQE,
∠CQE + ∠CBE = 180˚_________(2)
By adding (1) and (2) equation,
∠APE + ∠ABE + ∠CQE + ∠CBE = 180˚ + 180˚
∠APE + ∠ABE + ∠CBE = 360˚
∠ABE + ∠CBE = 180˚ (linear pair)
∠APE + ∠CQE + 180˚ = 360˚
∠APE + ∠CQE = 360˚ – 180˚
∠APE + ∠CQE = 180˚
Therefore, ∠APE and ∠CQE are supplementary.

Question 12. In the given, AB is the diameter of the circle with centre O. If ∠ ADC = 32°, find angle BOC.

Solution:

Arc AC subtends ∠AOC at the centre and ∠ADC at the remaining part of the circle.
∠AOC = 2∠ADC
∠AOC = 2 × 32˚
∠AOC = 64˚
Since ∠AOC and ∠BOC are linear pair, we have,
∠AOC + ∠BOC = 180˚
64˚+ ∠BOC = 180˚
∠BOC = 180˚-64˚
∠BOC = 116˚
Hence, the value of ∠BOC is 116˚.

Question 13. In a cyclic-quadrilateral PQRS, angle PQR = 135°. Sides SP and RQ produced meet at point A: whereas sides PQ and SR produced meet at point B. If ∠A: ∠B = 2 : 1;find angles A and B.

Solution:
PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral in which ∠PQR = 135˚
Side SP and RQ are produced to meet at A and Side PQ and SR are produced to meet B.
∠A = ∠B = 2:1
Let ∠A = 2x
∠B-x
Now,
In cyclic quadrilateral PQRS,
∠PQR = 135˚
∠S = 180˚-135˚
∠S = 45˚ (Since sum of opposite angle of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary)
∠PQR and ∠PQA are linear pair,
∠PQR + ∠PQA = 180˚
135˚ + ∠PQA = 180˚
∠PQA = 180˚-135˚
∠PQA = 45˚
In ΔPBS,
∠P = 180˚-(45˚ + x)
∠P = 180˚-45˚ – x
∠P = 135˚ – x___________(1)
In ΔPQA,
Ext. ∠P = ∠PQA + ∠A
Ext. ∠P = 45˚ + 2x__________(2)
From (1) and (2) we get,
45˚ + 2x = 135˚ – x
2x + x = 135˚ – 45˚
3x = 90˚
x = 90˚/3
x = 30˚
∠A = 2x
∠A = 2×30˚
∠A = 60˚
∠B = x
∠B = 30˚
Hence, the value of ∠A is 60˚ and ∠B is 30˚

(i) In ΔABE,
∠ABE = 180˚ – 2∠AEB
∠CEF = ∠AEB (Vertically opposite angles)
∠ADC = 180˚ – ∠ABC
∠ADC = 180˚ – (180˚ – 2∠AEB)
∠ADC = 180˚ – 180˚ + 2∠AEB
∠ADC = 2∠AEB (Since ADCF is a cyclic quadrilateral)
∠ECF = 180˚ – (∠AFC + ∠CEF)
∠ECF = 180˚ – (180˚ – 2∠AEB + ∠AEB)
∠ECF = 180˚-180˚ + 2∠AEB – ∠AEB)
∠ECF = ∠AEB
EC = EF
(ii) Arc BF = Arc DF (Equal arcs subtends equal angles)
BF = DF (Equal arcs have equal chords)

105˚ + ∠AEC = 180˚
∠AEC = 180˚-105˚
∠AEC = 75˚
∠ABD + ∠AED = 180˚
Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral and ∠AED = ∠AEC

2x + 2y = 240˚
2(x + y) = 240˚
x + y = 240˚/2
x + y = 120˚
∠A + ∠B + ∠P = 180˚ (Angles of a triangle)

∠BAD = ∠BDC = 30˚
∠BAD = ∠BAC + ∠CAD
∠BAD = 30˚ + 70˚
∠BAD = 100˚
(i) ∠BCD + ∠BAD = 180˚ (opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral)
∠BCD + ∠BAD = 180˚
∠BCD + 100˚ = 180˚
∠BCD = 180˚ – 100˚
∠BCD = 80˚
(ii) Here, AD = BC, ABCD is an isosceles trapezium and AB||DC
∠BAC = ∠DCA (alternate angles)

(iii) ∠BED
Solution:
(i) AD is parallel to BC
OD is parallel to BC and BD is transversal.
∠ODB = ∠CBD = 32˚ (alternate angles)
In ΔOBD,
OD = OB (Radius of the circle)
∠ODB = ∠OBD = 32˚
(ii) AD is parallel to BC
AO is parallel to BC and OB is transversal.
∠AOB = ∠OBC (Alternate angles)
∠OBC = ∠OBD + ∠DBC
∠OBC = 32˚ + 32˚
∠OBC = 64˚
∠AOB = 64˚
(iii) In ΔOAB,
OA = OB (Radius of the same circle)
Let us assumed that, ∠OAB = ∠OBA = x
∠OAB + ∠OBA + ∠AOB = 180˚
x + x + 64˚ = 180˚
2x + 64˚ = 180˚
2x = 180˚ – 64˚
2x = 116˚
x = 116˚/2
x = 58˚
∠OAB = 58˚
∠DAB = 58˚

Question 25. In the figure given, O is the centre of the circle. ∠DAE = 70°. Find giving suitable reasons, the measure of
(i) ∠BCD
(ii) ∠BOD
(iii) ∠OBD

Solution:
∠DAE and ∠DAB are linear pair
So,
∠DAE + ∠DAB = 180°
∠DAB = 110°
Also,
∠BCD + ∠DAB = 180° (Opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral BADC)
∠BCD = 70°
∠BCD = 1/2∠BOD (Angles subtended by an arc on the centre and on the circle)
∠BOD = 140°
In ∆BOD,
OB = OD (Radius of same circle)
So,
∠OBD = ∠ODB (isosceles triangle)
∠OBD+∠ODB+∠BOD = 180° (sum of angles of triangle 2∠OBD = 40°)
∠OBD = 20°
Hence, the value of ∠OBD is 20˚.
