In Fig.if ∠BAC = 60° and ∠BCA = 20°, find ∠ADC. |
|
Answer» By using angle sum property in triangle ABC, ∠B = 180° – (60° + 20°) = 100° In cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, we have ∠B + ∠D = 180° ∠D = 180° – 100° = 100° |

In a cyclic quadrilateral if ∠A - ∠C = 700, then the greater of the angles A and C is equal to: (A) 950(B) 1050 (C) 1250(D) 1150 |
|
Answer» (C) The angles A and C is 1250 |
