In the given figure, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which AE is drawn parallel to CD, and BA is produced to F. If ∠ABC = 92° and ∠FAE = 20°, find ∠BCD.

Answer»

We know that ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral

So we get

∠ABC + ∠ADC = 180o

By substituting the values

92o + ∠ADC = 180o

On further calculation

∠ADC = 180o – 92o

By subtraction

∠ADC = 88o

We know that AE || CD

From the figure we know that

∠EAD = ∠ADC = 88o

We know that the exterior angle of a cyclic quadrilateral = interior opposite angle

So we get

∠BCD = ∠DAF

We know that

∠BCD = ∠EAD + ∠EAF

It is given that ∠FAE = 20o

By substituting the values

∠BCD = 88o + 20o

By addition

∠BCD = 108o

Therefore, ∠BCD = 108o.
