Question
In the figure given alongside, AB and CD are straight lines through the centre O of a circle. If ∠AOC = 80° and ∠CDE = 40°, find the number of degrees in ∠ABC.
Solution
In ΔBOC,
∠AOC = ∠OCB + ∠OBC
(Exterior angle of a Δ is equal to the sum of pair of interior opposite angles)
`=>` ∠OBC = 80° – 50° = 30° ...[∠AOC = 80°, given]
Hence, ∠ABC = 30°
