Join AC.

In the given figure, O is the centre of a circle, ∠OAB = 30° and ∠OCB = 40°. Calculate ∠AOC. Loci, RSA Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 10.

As, OA = OC = radius of circle.

Let ∠OAC = ∠OCA = x (As angles opposite to equal sides are equal)

We know that,

Sum of angles of triangle = 180°

∴ ∠OAC + ∠OCA + ∠AOC = 180°

⇒ x + x + ∠AOC = 180°

⇒ ∠AOC = 180° - 2x

From figure,

⇒ ∠BAC = ∠BAO + OAC = 30° + x

⇒ ∠BCA = ∠BCO + OCA = 40° + x

Now, in ∆ABC

⇒ ∠ABC = 180° - ∠BAC - ∠BCA [Angle sum property of a triangle]

= 180° - (30° + x) - (40° + x)

= 180° - 30° - x - 40° - x

= 180° - 70° - 2x

= 110° - 2x.

We know that,

Angle which an arc subtends at the center is double that which it subtends at any point on the remaining part of the circumference.

∴ ∠AOC = 2∠ABC

⇒ 180° - 2x = 2(110° - 2x)

⇒ 180° - 2x = 220° - 4x

⇒ -2x + 4x = 220° - 180°

⇒ 2x = 40°

⇒ x = 20°.

Thus, ∠AOC = 180° - 2x = 180° - 2(20°)

= 180° - 40° = 140°.

Hence, ∠AOC = 140°.

2Exercise 18

In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle and ∠AOC = 130°. Find ∠ABC.

In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle and ∠AOC = 130°. Find ∠ABC. Loci, RSA Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 10.
Show SolutionHide Solution↓

From figure,

⇒ ∠AOC + Reflex ∠AOC = 360°

⇒ 130° + Reflex ∠AOC = 360°

⇒ Reflex ∠AOC = 360° - 130°

⇒ Reflex ∠AOC = 230°.

Arc AC subtends Reflex ∠AOC at center and ∠ABC at another point of circle.

⇒ Reflex ∠AOC = 2 ∠ABC

⇒ 2∠ABC = 230°

⇒ ∠ABC = $\frac{230^{\circ}}{2}$

⇒ ∠ABC = 115°.

Hence, the value of ∠ABC = 115°.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

(i) We know that,

Angle which an arc subtends at the center is double that which it subtends at any point on the remaining part of the circumference.

⇒ ∠AOB = 2∠ACO

⇒ 110° = 2∠ACO

⇒ ∠ACO = $\frac{110^{\circ}}{2}$

⇒ ∠ACO = 55°

Hence, ∠ACO = 55°.

(ii) From figure,

⇒ ∠COA + ∠AOB = 180° [Linear pair]

⇒ ∠COA + 110° = 180°

⇒ ∠COA = 180° - 110°

⇒ ∠COA = 70°

The sum of the three interior angles of any triangle is always 180°.

In ΔAOC,

⇒ ∠COA + ∠ACO + ∠CAO = 180°

⇒ 70° + 55° + ∠CAO = 180°

⇒ 125° + ∠CAO = 180°

⇒ ∠CAO = 180° - 125°

⇒ ∠CAO = 55°.

Hence, ∠CAO = 55°.

⇒ ∠BAD + ∠BCD = 180°

⇒ ∠BCD = 180° - 100°

⇒ ∠BCD = 80°.

Hence, ∠BCD = 80°.

(ii) Since AB ∥ DC, the angles ∠BAD and ∠ADC are consecutive interior angles along the transversal AD.

Therefore,

⇒ ∠BAD + ∠ADC = 180°

⇒ 100° + ∠ADC = 180°

⇒ ∠ADC = 180° - 100°

⇒ ∠ADC = 80°.

Hence, ∠ADC = 80°.

(iii) We know that:

Sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180°.

⇒ ∠ABC + ∠ADC = 180°

⇒ ∠BAC + ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180°

⇒ 43° + ∠ABC + 52° = 180°

⇒ ∠ABC + 95° = 180°

⇒ ∠ABC = 180° - 95°

In Δ AOC,

∠OCA = ∠OAC = 50° (As angles opposite to equal sides in a triangle are equal)

We know that,

The sum of the three interior angles of any triangle is always 180°.

∠AOC + ∠OCA + ∠OAC = 180°

∠AOC + 50° + 50° = 180°

∠AOC = 180° − 50° − 50° = 80°.

We know that,

Angle at the center is double the angle at the circumference subtended by the same chord.

∠ABC = $\frac{1}{2}$ ∠AOC

∠ABC = $\frac{1}{2}$ 80°

∠ABC = 40°.

Hence, ∠ABC = 40°.

(ii) From figure,

OB = OC (Radius of same circle)

Let ∠OBC = ∠OCB = x (As angles opposite to equal sides are equal)

We know that,

The sum of the three interior angles of any triangle is always 180°.

⇒ ∠OBC + ∠OCB + ∠BOC = 180°

⇒ x + x + 60° = 180°

⇒ 2x = 180° - 60°

⇒ 2x = 120°

⇒ x = $\frac{120^{\circ}}{2}$

⇒ x = 60°.

Hence, ∠BCO = 60°.

(iii) In ∆AOB, we have

OA = OB (radius of same circle)

So, ∠OBA = ∠OAB (As angles opposite to equal sides are equal)

By angle sum property of a triangle we get,

⇒ 2∠OAB + 140° = 180°

⇒ 2∠OAB = 40°

⇒ ∠OAB = 20°.

Hence, ∠OAB = 20°.

(i) Given,

∠BED = 70°

We know that,

Hence, ∠BAD = 70°.

(ii) We know that,

The angle which an arc of a circle subtends at the center is double which it subtends at any point on the remaining part of the circumference.

Therefore,

∠BOD = 2∠BAD = 2 × 70° = 140°.

Hence, ∠BOD = 140°.

(iii) We know that,

Angle in a semi-circle is a right angle triangle.

∠ABD = 90°

In △ABD,

⇒ ∠BAD + ∠BDA + ∠ABD = 180°

Hence, ∠BED = 25°.

(iii) As, AB ∥ ED

∴ ∠DEB = ∠EBA = 25° [Alternate angles]

BCDE is a cyclic quadrilateral.

∴ ∠DEB + ∠BCD = 180° [Sum of opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral = 180°.]

Show SolutionHide Solution↓
The exterior angles B and C in ΔABC are bisected to meet at a point P. Loci, RSA Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 10.

We know that,

An exterior angle of a triangle equals to the sum of the two interior opposite angles.

∠CBD = ∠A + ∠C

∠BCE = ∠A + ∠B.

Since BP bisects the exterior angle ∠CBD :

∠PBC = $\frac{1}{2}$ ∠CBD

Similarly, since CP bisects the exterior angle ∠BCE :

∠PCB = $\frac{1}{2}$ ∠BCE

In △BPC,

By angle sum property of triangle,

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow ∠PBC + ∠PCB + ∠BPC = 180^{\circ} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}∠CBD + \frac{1}{2}∠BCE + ∠BPC = 180^{\circ} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}(∠A + ∠C) + \frac{1}{2}(∠A + ∠B) + ∠BPC = 180^{\circ} \\[1em] \Rightarrow ∠A + \frac{1}{2}(∠C + ∠B) + ∠BPC = 180^{\circ} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}(∠B + ∠C) + ∠BPC = 180^{\circ} - A \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}(180^{\circ} - A) + ∠BPC = 180^{\circ} - A \\[1em] \Rightarrow 90^{\circ} - \frac{A}{2} + ∠BPC = 180^{\circ} - A \\[1em] \Rightarrow ∠BPC = 180^{\circ} - A - \Big[90^{\circ} - \frac{A}{2}\Big] \\[1em] \Rightarrow ∠BPC = 180^{\circ} - A - 90^{\circ} + \frac{A}{2}\\[1em] \Rightarrow ∠BPC = 90^{\circ} - \frac{A}{2}.\end{aligned}$$

For A, B, P, C to be concyclic we would need ∠A + ∠BPC = 180° But:

∵ ∠A + ∠BPC = ∠A + $90^{\circ} - \frac{∠A}{2} = 90^{\circ} + \frac{∠A}{2}$

Hence, proved that $∠BPC = 90° - \frac{∠A}{2}$ and ABPC is not cyclic.

Which of the following quadrilaterals is not always a cyclic quadrilateral?. Loci, RSA Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 10.

Given,

ABCD is a rhombus.

In a rhombus,

All sides are equal, but angles are not necessarily equal to 90°.

Opposite angles of a rhombus are equal.

So,

∠A = ∠C and ∠B = ∠D

Given,

ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which AP, BP, CR and DR are the angle bisectors of ∠A, ∠B, ∠C and ∠D respectively, forming quadrilateral PQRS.

In ΔPAB,

∠APB + ∠PAB + ∠PBA = 180° [Sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°]

But,

∠PAB = $\frac{1}{2}$∠A and ∠PBA = $\frac{1}{2}$∠B [AP and BP are angle bisectors]

So,

∠APB + $\frac{1}{2}$∠A + $\frac{1}{2}$∠B = 180° …(i)

Similarly, in ΔRCD,

∠CRD + ∠RCD + ∠RDC = 180° [Sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°]

But,

∠RCD = $\frac{1}{2}$∠C and ∠RDC = $\frac{1}{2}$∠D [CR and DR are angle bisectors]

So,

∠CRD + $\frac{1}{2}$∠C + $\frac{1}{2}$∠D = 180° …(ii)

Adding (i) and (ii),

∠APB + ∠CRD + $\frac{1}{2}$ (∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D) = 360°

But,

∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360° [Sum of angles of a quadrilateral]

So,

∠APB + ∠CRD + $\frac{1}{2}$ × 360° = 360°

∠APB + ∠CRD + 180° = 360°

∠APB + ∠CRD = 180°

Since a pair of opposite angles of quadrilateral PQRS is supplementary,

PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral.

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.

∠AOB = 180° - (∠OAB + ∠OBA)

∠AOB = 180° - (50° + 50°)

∠AOB = 80°.

The angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.

∠ACB = $\frac{1}{2}$ ∠AOB

∠ACB = $\frac{80°}{2}$

∠ACB = 40°

∠ADB = ∠ACB = 40° [Angle in same segment are equal]

From figure,

∠BDC = ∠ADB + x

90° = 40° + x

x = 50°.

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.

From figure,

OA = OB (Radii of same circle)

∠OBA = ∠OAB = 50° (As angles opposite to equal sides in a triangle are equal)

∠OBA + ∠OAB + ∠AOB = 180° [Angle sum property of a triangle]

50° + 50° + ∠AOB = 180°

100° + ∠AOB = 180°

∠AOB = 180° - 100°

∠AOB = 80°.

We know that,

Angle which an arc subtends at the center is double that which it subtends at any point on the remaining part of the circumference.

So, reason (R) is true.

∠AOB = 2∠ACB

∠ACB = $\frac{80°}{2}$ = 40°.

So, Assertion (A) is true.

In △ABC,

∠ACB = 90° [Angle in a semicircle]

Since ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of its opposite angles is 180°.

⇒ ∠ADC + ∠ABC = 180°

⇒ 130° + ∠ABC = 180°

⇒ ∠ABC = 50°

In △ABC,

⇒ ∠BAC + ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180° [Angle sum property of a triangle]

⇒ ∠BAC = 180° - (50° + 90°)

⇒ ∠BAC = 40°.

So, Assertion (A) is true.

Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal, so Reason (R) is a true statement. However, ∠BAC = 40° is obtained using the angle in a semicircle together with the cyclic-quadrilateral property, and not by the equality of angles in the same segment. So R is not the correct explanation of A.

Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.

∠ACB = $\frac{1}{2}$ Reflex ∠AOB

∠ACB = $\frac{260 ^{\circ}}{2}$

∠ACB = 130°

∠ACB + ∠BCD = 180° [Linear pair]

∠BCD = 180° - 130°

∠BCD = 50°

So assertion (A) is false.

We know that,

In, cyclic quadrilaterals if one side is extended, the exterior angle formed is equal to the interior opposite angle.

A is false, R is true

(a) In △ BAE,

⇒ ∠AEB = 90° (Angle in a semicircle is a right angle)

By angle sum property of triangle,

⇒ ∠AEB + ∠EBA + ∠BAE = 180°

⇒ 90° + 33° + ∠BAE = 180°

⇒ ∠BAE + 123° = 180°

⇒ ∠BAE = 180° - 123° = 57°.

Hence, ∠BAE = 57°.

(b) From figure,

⇒ ∠EAC = ∠EAB + ∠BAC

⇒ 82° = 57° + ∠BAC

⇒ ∠BAC = 82° - 57° = 25°.

We know that,

The angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.

⇒ ∠BOC = 2∠BAC = 2 × 25° = 50°.

Hence, ∠BOC = 50°.

(c) From figure,

∠BOC and ∠BOD form a linear pair.

∴ ∠BOC + ∠BOD = 180°

⇒ 50° + ∠BOD = 180°

⇒ ∠BOD = 180° - 50° = 130°.

In △ BOD,

⇒ ∠BOD + ∠ODB + ∠DBO = 180°

⇒ 130° + ∠ODB + 33° = 180°
