In the figure, OO is the centre of the circle. Find ∠CAF\angle CAF.

100°120°OABCDEF
Worked solution (try it first)
  1. ACBEACBE is a cyclic quadrilateral, so opposite angles add up to 180∘180^\circ: ∠ACB=180∘−120∘\angle ACB = 180^\circ - 120^\circ
    =60∘= 60^\circ.
  2. Angles on a straight line add up to 180∘180^\circ, so ∠AFC=180∘−100∘\angle AFC = 180^\circ - 100^\circ
    =80∘= 80^\circ.
  3. The angles of triangle ACFACF add up to 180∘180^\circ: ∠CAF=180∘−60∘−80∘\angle CAF = 180^\circ - 60^\circ - 80^\circ
    =40∘= 40^\circ, option B.
