Question : 26
Total: 46
In the given circle with centre O , ∠ A B C = 100 ∘ , ∠ A C D = 40 ∘ and C T is a tangent to the circle at C . Find ∠ A D C and ∠ D C T .
Solution:
Given : ∠ ABC = 100 ∘ , ∠ ACD = 40 ∘
We know that,
∠ ABC + ∠ ADC = 180 ∘
(The sum of opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral= 180 ∘ )
∴ 100 ∘ + ∠ ADC = 180 ∘
∠ ADC = 180 ∘ − 100 ∘
∠ ADC = 80 ∘
Join OA and OC, we have a isosceles△ OAC ,
∵ OA = OC (Radii of a circle)
∴ ∠ AOC = 2 × ∠ ADC (by theorem)
∠ AOC = 2 × 80 ∘ = 160 ∘
In△ AOC ,
∠ AOC + ∠ OAC + ∠ OCA = 180 ∘
160 ∘ + ∠ OCA + ∠ OCA = 180 ∘
[ ∵ ∠ OAC = ∠ OCA ]
2 ∠ OCA = 20 ∘
∠ OCA = 10 ∘
∠ OCA + ∠ OCD = 40 ∘
10 ∘ + ∠ OCD = 40 ∘
∴ ∠ OCD = 30 ∘
Hence , ∠ OCD + ∠ DCT = ∠ OCT
∵ ∠ OCT = 90 ∘
(The tangent at a point to circle is⟂ to the radius through the point of contact)
30 ∘ + ∠ DCT = 90 ∘
∴ ∠ DCT = 60 ∘
We know that,
(The sum of opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral
Join OA and OC, we have a isosceles
In
(The tangent at a point to circle is
