In the figure below, OO is the centre of the circle, ∣AB∣=∣CD∣|AB| = |CD| and ∠COD=85∘\angle COD = 85^\circ. Find the following:

85°OACBD
  1. (i)

    ∠AOB\angle AOB

  2. (ii)

    ∠BCD\angle BCD

  3. (iii)

    ∠BAD\angle BAD

  4. (iv)

    ∠BOD\angle BOD

  5. (v)

    ∠OBD\angle OBD

Worked solution (try it first)
  1. ADAD and BCBC both pass through the centre OO, so they are diameters.

(i)

  1. ∠AOB\angle AOB and ∠COD\angle COD are vertically opposite angles, so ∠AOB=85∘\angle AOB = 85^\circ.

(ii)

  1. In triangle OCDOCD, OC=ODOC = OD (radii), so the base angles are equal: ∠OCD=180∘−85∘2\angle OCD = \frac{180^\circ - 85^\circ}{2}
    =47.5∘= 47.5^\circ.
  2. BB, OO and CC lie on one line, so ∠BCD=∠OCD=47.5∘\angle BCD = \angle OCD = 47.5^\circ.

(iii)

  1. ∠BAD\angle BAD and ∠BCD\angle BCD both stand on the arc BDBD (angles in the same segment), so ∠BAD=47.5∘\angle BAD = 47.5^\circ.

(iv)

  1. ∠BOD\angle BOD and ∠COD\angle COD lie on the straight line BCBC, so ∠BOD=180∘−85∘\angle BOD = 180^\circ - 85^\circ
    =95∘= 95^\circ.

(v)

  1. In triangle OBDOBD, OB=ODOB = OD (radii), so ∠OBD=180∘−95∘2\angle OBD = \frac{180^\circ - 95^\circ}{2}
    =42.5∘= 42.5^\circ.
