Question

In the given figure, ∠BAD = 65°, ∠ABD = 70°, ∠BDC = 45°

  1. Prove that AC is a diameter of the circle.
  2. Find ∠ACB.

Sum

Solution

i. In ΔABD,

∠DAB + ∠ABD + ∠ADB = 180°

`=>` 65° + 70° + ∠ADB = 180°

`=>` 135° + ∠ADB  = 180°

`=>` ∠ADB  = 180° – 135° = 45°

Now, ∠ADC = ∠ADB + ∠BDC

=  45° + 45°

= 90°

Since ∠ADC is the angle of semicircle, so AC is a diameter of the circle.

ii. ∠ACB = ∠ADB  ...(Angles in the same segment of a circle)

`=>` ∠ACB = 45°
