Answer
In △AOD, ∠AOD = 90°.
OA = OD (Radii of the semi-circle)
∠OAD = ∠ODA (∵ angles opposite equal side are equal.)
We know that sum of angles in a triangle = 180°.
In △OAD,
⇒ ∠AOD + ∠OAD + ∠ODA = 180°
⇒ 90° + ∠OAD + ∠OAD = 180°
⇒ 90° + 2∠OAD = 180°
⇒ 2∠OAD = 180° - 90°
⇒ ∠OAD = = 45°.
From figure,
∠BAD = ∠OAD = 45°.
Arc AD subtends ∠AOD at the centre and ∠ACD at the remaining part of the circle.
∠AOD = 2∠ACD (∵ angle subtended on centre is double the angle subtended at remaining part of the circle.)
⇒ 90° = 2∠ACD
⇒ ∠ACD = = 45°.
Hence, the value of ∠BAD = 45° and ∠ACD = 45°.
