Mathematics
In the figure (ii) given below, O is the center of the circle. If ∠OAD = 50°, find the values of x and y.
Answer
From figure,
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral as all vertices lie on the circumference of the circle.
Sum of opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral = 180°
⇒ ∠BCD + ∠BAD = 180°
⇒ x + 50° = 180°
⇒ x = 180° - 50°
⇒ x = 130°.
OA = OD = radius of the circle.
So, in △ODA,
∠ODA = ∠OAD = 50°.
In triangle exterior angle is equal to the sum of the opposite two interior angle.
y = ∠ODA + ∠OAD = 50° + 50° = 100°.
Hence, the value of x = 130° and y = 100°.
