Question:

Let O be the center of a circle and AC be its diameter BD is a chord intersecting AC at E.  Point A is joined to B and D.  If ∠BDS = 60° and ∠AOD = 100°, then ∠BED = ?

Options:

100°

40°

80°

60°

Correct Answer:

100°

Explanation:

∠COD = 80° (linear angle)

In ΔBOD → OB = OD (radius)

∠OBD = ∠ODB

∠OBD = 180° - (80° + 60°) = 40°

∠BEC = 60° + 40° = 100° (exterior angle of ∠BOE)
