Answer
(i) We know,
Sum of angles in a triangle = 180°.
In △ABD,
⇒ ∠ADB + ∠ABD + ∠DAB = 180°
⇒ ∠ADB + 58° + 75° = 180°
⇒ ∠ADB + 133° = 180°
⇒ ∠ADB = 180° - 133° = 47°
From figure,
∠BDC = ∠ADC - ∠ADB = 77° - 47° = 30°.
Hence, ∠BDC = 30°.
(ii) We know that,
Sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180°.
⇒ ∠BAD + ∠BCD = 180°
⇒ ∠BCD = 180° - 75° = 105°.
Hence, ∠BCD = 105°.
(iii) Join AC.
We know that,
Angles subtended by the same chord on the circle are equal.
∠BCA = ∠ADB = 47°
Hence, ∠BCA = 47°.
