CIRCLE_Q8B


1 Answer


Given,

O is the center of the circle

And BOD = 160°

To find: The value of x and y

Here,

(I) BAD = 1/2 BOD [Therefore, BAD is a circumference angle and BOD is a central angle standing on the same arc of a circle.]

or, x = (1/2) x 160°

or, x = 80°

(II) BAD + BCD = 180° [Therefore, being opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral]

or, 80° + y = 180°

or, y = 180° - 80°

or, y = 100°

Therefore, 80° and y = 100°
