Question

ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in a circle with centre O. If ∠ADC = 130°; find ∠BAC.

Sum

Solution


Here ∠ACB = 90°

(Angle in a semicircle is right angle)

Also, ∠ABC = 180° – ∠ADC = 180° – 130° = 50°

(Pair of opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary)

By angle sum property of right triangle ACB,

∠BAC = 90° – ∠ABC = 90° – 50° = 40°
