Question:

Vertices A, B, C and D of a quadrilateral ABCD lie on a circle. ∠A is three times ∠C and ∠D is two times ∠B. What is the difference between the measures of ∠D and ∠C ?

Options:

55°

65°

75°

45°

Correct Answer:

75°

Explanation:

= \(\angle\)A + \(\angle\)C = \({180}^\circ\)

= 3\(\theta \) + \(\theta \) = \({180}^\circ\)

= \(\theta \) = \({45}^\circ\)

= \(\angle\)C = \({45}^\circ\)

= \(\angle\)B + \(\angle\)D = \({180}^\circ\)

= \(\alpha \) + 2\(\alpha \) = \({180}^\circ\)

= \(\alpha \) = \({60}^\circ\)

= \(\angle\)B = \({60}^\circ\)

The difference between the measure of \(\angle\)D and \(\angle\)C = (120 - 45) = \({75}^\circ\)
