In the figure, $O$ is the centre of the circle. If $\angle CEA = 30^o$, find the values of $x, y$ and $z$.
"
Given:
$O$ is the centre of the circle.
$\angle CEA = 30^o$
To do:
We have to find the values of $x, y$ and $z$.
Solution:
$\angle AEC$ and $\angle ADC$ are in the same segment.
Therefore,
$\angle AEC = \angle ADC = 30^o$
$z = 30^o$
$ABCD$ is a cyclic quadrilateral.
This implies,
$\angle B + \angle D = 180^o$
$x + z = 180^o$
$x + 30^o = 180^o$
$x = 180^o - 30^o = 150^o$
Arc $AC$ subtends $\angle AOB$ at the centre and $\angle ADC$ at the remaining part of the circle.
This implies,
$\angle AOC = 2\angle D$
$= 2 \times 30^o$
$= 60^o$
$y = 60^o$
Hence $x = 150^o, y = 60^o$ and $z = 30^o$.
