SOLUTIONS
1. (a) � R = TR Since TQ � Q = 70° (base angles of an isosceles triangle) �Q = 180° − (70° + 70°) ∴ RT �Q RT = 180° − 140° = 40° Ans (b) RS� T = 180° − 70° =110° Ans (Opposite ∠s of a cyclic quadrilateral ) (c) �S = TR Since RT � P = 20° (alternate angles). Then � S = 180 − (110° + 30°) TR �S TR = 180° − 20° = 5𝟎𝟎° Ans 2. (a) ∠BOD = 2 × 47° = 𝟗𝟗𝟗𝟗° Ans (∠ at the circumference twice at the centre) (b) ∠OBD = (180° − 94°) ÷ 2 (Base angles of an isosceles triangle) ∠OBD = 86° ÷ 2 ∠OBD = 𝟒𝟒𝟒𝟒° Ans (c) ∠BCD = 180° − 47° = 133° (Opposite ∠s of a cyclic quadrilateral) ∴ ∠BDC = 180° − (28° + 133°)
Compiled by Kachama Dickson C/High Standards in Mathematics/circle Theorem Page 5
∠BDC = 180° − 161° ∠BDC = 𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏° Ans 3. (a) Since ∠BCD = 90° (∠ in the semi-circle) Then ∠CBD = 180° − (30° + 90°) ∠CBD = 180° − 120° = 𝟔𝟔𝟔𝟔° Ans (b) ∠𝐁𝐁𝐁𝐁𝐁𝐁 = ∠𝐁𝐁𝐁𝐁𝐁𝐁 = 𝟑𝟑𝟑𝟑° Ans (∠s in the same segment) (c) Since ∠OAT = 90°, then ∠OAD = 90° − 40° = 50° Also ∠𝐎𝐎𝐎𝐎𝐎𝐎 = ∠𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀 = 𝟓𝟓𝟓𝟓° (base ∠𝐬𝐬 of an isosceles triangle) ∠AOD = 180° − (50° + 50°) = 80° ∴ ∠𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀 = 180° − 80° = 𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏° 4. (a) � E = 180° ÷ 2 = 𝟒𝟒𝟒𝟒° ( ∠ at the centre is half the angle at the circumf) AD (b) ∠DAE = (180° − 40°) ÷ 2 = 70° (Base ∠s in an isosceles ∆) (c) Since ∠ADB = ACB = 20°, then ∠EDB = 40° + 20° = 60°. So ∠EAB = 180° − 60° = 120° (opposite ∠s in a cyclic quadrilateral) ∴ ∠𝐁𝐁𝐁𝐁𝐁𝐁 = 𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏° − 𝟕𝟕𝟕𝟕° = 𝟓𝟓𝟓𝟓° 5. (a) ∠𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀 = 120° ÷ 2 = 𝟔𝟔𝟔𝟔° ( Angle at the centre is half the angle at circumf) (b) ∠𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀 = 180° − 60° = 𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏° ( Sum of opposite ∠s in a cyclic quadrilateral) (c) ∠𝐂𝐂𝐂𝐂𝐂𝐂 = ∠𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀 = 𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏° (alternate and opposite interior angle) ∴ ∠ = 𝐃𝐃𝐃𝐃𝐃𝐃 = (𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏° − 𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏°) ÷ 𝟐𝟐 = 𝟑𝟑𝟑𝟑° 6. (a) ∠RWX = ∠XYW = 𝟒𝟒𝟒𝟒° (alternate segment and opposite interior angle) (b) ∠XVW = ∠RWX = 𝟒𝟒𝟒𝟒° (same segment) (c) ∠YWX = 180° − (44° + 54° + 39°) (∠𝐬𝐬 on the straight line) ∠𝐘𝐘𝐘𝐘𝐘𝐘 = 𝟒𝟒𝟒𝟒° ∴ 𝐘𝐘𝐘𝐘𝐘𝐘 = 𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏° − (𝟒𝟒𝟒𝟒° + 𝟒𝟒𝟒𝟒°) = 𝟗𝟗𝟗𝟗° 7. (a) Since ∠ACF = 20° and ∠FCD = 70°, this makes angle ACD = 90°. Therefore ∠ACD is an angle in the semi-circle if and only if AD is a diameter. (b)(i) ∠ACF = ∠AE = 20° (angles in the same segment are equal) Ans (ii) ∠DEF = 180° − 70° = 110° (Opposite ∠s in a cyclic quadrilateral) Ans 8. (a) ∠CBD = CAD = 33° (angles in the same segment are equal) Ans (b) ∠ACD = 90° − 42° = 𝟒𝟒𝟒𝟒° Ans (c) ∠ADX =∠ACB = 42° and so ∠AXD = 180° − (33° + 42°) = 105°
Compiled by Kachama Dickson C/High Standards in Mathematics/circle Theorem Page 6
∴ ∠AXB = 180° − ∠AXD° (Angles on the straight line) = 180° − 105° = 𝟕𝟕𝟕𝟕° Ans 9. (a) ∠PRS = ∠PQS = 26° (∠s in the same segment are equal) (b) ∠PRQ = 180° − (42° + 90°) = 180° −132° = 𝟒𝟒𝟒𝟒° Ans (c) Since TP ⊥ PR, then ∠TPR = 90° So ∠TPQ = 90° + 42° = 132° ∴ ∠PTQ = 180° − (132° + 26°) = 22° Ans
