Mathematics
In the figure (ii) given below, two circles intersect at points P and Q. If ∠A = 80° and ∠D = 84°, calculate
(i) ∠QBC
(ii) ∠BCP
Answer
Join PQ as shown in the figure below:
PQAD is a cyclic quadrilateral as all vertices lie on the circumference of the circle.
Sum of opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral = 180°
⇒ ∠DAQ + ∠DPQ = 180°
⇒ 80° + ∠DPQ = 180°
⇒ ∠DPQ = 180° - 80°
⇒ ∠DPQ = 100°.
Also,
⇒ ∠PDA + ∠PQA = 180°
⇒ 84° + ∠PQA = 180°
⇒ ∠PQA = 180° - 84°
⇒ ∠PQA = 96°.
Since exterior angle of a cyclic quadrilateral is equal to the opposite interior angle.
∠QBC = ∠DPQ = 100°
∠BCP = ∠PQA = 96°.
Hence, the value of ∠QBC = 100° and ∠BCP = 96°.
