In the figure, D is the centre of the circle, AD is parallel to BC and ∠BDC = 108°. Find the values of
- ∠v
- ∠w
- ∠x
(a)
∠v
= (180° - 108°) ÷ 2
= 36° (Angle properties within a circle)
(b)
∠ADB = ∠v = 36° (Alternate angles)
∠w
= (180° - 36°) ÷ 2
= 72° (Angle properties within a circle)
(c)
∠x
= 360° - 108° - 36°
= 216° (Angles at a point)
Answer(s): (a) 36°; (b) 72°; (c) 216°
