Answer
(i) In ∆ABD,
⇒ ∠DAB + ∠ABD + ∠ADB = 180° [Angle sum property of a triangle]
⇒ 65° + 70° + ∠ADB = 180°
⇒ 135° + ∠ADB = 180°
⇒ ∠ADB = 180° - 135° = 45°
From figure,
⇒ ∠ADC = ∠ADB + ∠BDC = 45° + 45° = 90°.
As the angle in a semicircle is a right angle,
∴ Arc ADC is semi-circle and AC is the diameter.
Hence, proved that AC is the diameter.
(ii) We know that,
Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal.
∴ ∠ACB = ∠ADB = 45°.
Hence, ∠ACB = 45°.
