Suppose $O$ is the center of a circle and $ A B $ is a diameter of that circle. $ A B C D $ is a cyclic quadrilateral. If $ \angle A B C=65^{\circ}, \angle D A C=40^{\circ} $, then $ \angle B C D=? $
Given:
$O$ is the center of a circle and \( A B \) is a diameter of that circle. \( A B C D \) is a cyclic quadrilateral.
\( \angle A B C=65^{\circ}, \angle D A C=40^{\circ} \).
To do:
We have tofind \( \angle B C D \).
Solution:
We know that,
Angle in a semi-circle is $90^o$.
The sum of the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is $180^o$.
$\angle ACB$ is an angle in the semicircle.
This implies,
$\angle ACB = 90^o$
$\angle ABC$ and $\angle ADC$ are supplementary angles.
$\angle ABC + \angle ADC = 180^o$
$65^o+\angle ADC = 180^o$
$\angle ADC = 180^o - 65^o$
$\angle ADC = 115^o$
In $\triangle ADC$,
$\angle ADC = 115^o, \angle DAC = 40^o$
$\angle ACD+\angle ADC+\angle DAC=180^o$
$\angle ACD = 180^o - \angle ADC - \angle DAC$
$= 180^o- 115^o- 40^o$
$= 25^o$
$\angle BCD = \angle ACB+\angle ACD$
$= 90^o+25^o$
$= 115^o$
Hence, $\angle BCD = 115^o$.
