Q3 of 23 Page 1

Solve any the three sub-questions:

ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral. M (arc ABC) = 230°. Find ∠ABC, ∠CDA and ∠CBE.



M(arc ABC) = 230°


M(arc ADC) = 360° - M(arc ABC) … complete circle is 360°


M(arc ADC) = 360° - 230° = 130°


AOC = 130°


Angle subtended by arc at point on circle is equal to half of angle subtended by same arc at center


Here arc ADC subtends AOC at center and ABC on circle


ABC = (1/2) × AOC


= 1/2 × 130°


= 65°


ABC = 65°


ABC + CBE = 180° …linear pair of angles


65° + CBE = 180°


CBE = 180° - 65° = 115°


CBE = 115°


CDA + ABC = 180° …opposite pair of cyclic quadrilateral ABCD


CDA + 65° = 180°


CDA = 180° - 65° = 115°


CDA = 115°


Hence ABC = 65°, CDA = 115° and CBE = 115°
