In the figure, E is the centre of the circle, BE is parallel to CD and ∠CED = 108°. Find the values of
- ∠p
- ∠q
- ∠r
(a)
∠p
= (180° - 108°) ÷ 2
= 36° (Angle properties within a circle)
(b)
∠BEC = ∠p = 36° (Alternate angles)
∠q
= (180° - 36°) ÷ 2
= 72° (Angle properties within a circle)
(c)
∠r
= 360° - 108° - 36°
= 216° (Angles at a point)
Answer(s): (a) 36°; (b) 72°; (c) 216°
