A circle is circumscribed on a quadrilateral ABCD. If ∠DAB = 100°, ∠ADB = 35° and ∠CDB = 40°, then find the measure of ∠DBC. |
35° 60° 45° 40° |
60° |
We know that, In the case of a cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of opposite angles of the quadrilateral is 180°. The sum of all internal angles of a triangle is 180°. We have, ∠DAB = 100°, ∠ADB = 35° and ∠CDB = 40° Considering ΔDAB, ∠DAB + ∠ADB + ∠DBA = 180° = 100° + 35° + ∠DBA = 180° = ∠DBA = 180° - 135° = 45° = ∠ABD = 45° Because the circle is circumscribed on a quadrilateral ABCD, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral. So, ∠ADC + ∠ABC = 180° = (∠ADB + ∠CDB) + (∠ABD + ∠DBC) = 180° = 35° + 40° + 45° + ∠DBC = 180° = ∠DBC = 180° - 120° = ∠DBC = 60° |
