Question : 8
Total: 46
Prove that AC is a diameter of the circle.
Solution:  
Given : BAD=65,ABD=70,BDC =45
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.
In ABD,
BDA+DAB+ABD=180
(By using sum property of 0 )
BDA=180(65+70)
=180135=45
Now from ACD,
ADC=ADB+BDC
=45+45
(BDA=ADB=45)
=90
Hence, D makes right angle belongs in semi-circle therefore AC is a diameter of the circle.
