SOLUTIONS
1. (a) � R = TR
Since TQ � Q = 70° (base angles of an isosceles triangle)
� Q = 180° − (70° + 70°)
∴ RT
�Q
RT = 180° − 140° = 40° Ans
(b) RS� T = 180° − 70° =110° Ans (Opposite ∠s of a cyclic quadrilateral )
(c) �S = TR
Since RT � P = 20° (alternate angles). Then
� S = 180 − (110° + 30°)
TR
�S
TR = 180° − 20° = 5𝟎𝟎° Ans
2. (a) ∠BOD = 2 × 47° = 𝟗𝟗𝟗𝟗° Ans (∠ at the circumference twice at the centre)
(b) ∠OBD = (180° − 94°) ÷ 2 (Base angles of an isosceles triangle)
∠OBD = 86° ÷ 2
∠OBD = 𝟒𝟒𝟒𝟒° Ans
(c) ∠BCD = 180° − 47° = 133° (Opposite ∠s of a cyclic quadrilateral)
∴ ∠BDC = 180° − (28° + 133°)
∠BDC = 180° − 161°
∠BDC = 𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏° Ans
3. (a) Since ∠BCD = 90° (∠ in the semi-circle)
Then ∠CBD = 180° − (30° + 90°)
∠CBD = 180° − 120° = 𝟔𝟔𝟔𝟔° Ans
(b) ∠𝐁𝐁𝐁𝐁𝐁𝐁 = ∠𝐁𝐁𝐁𝐁𝐁𝐁 = 𝟑𝟑𝟑𝟑° Ans (∠s in the same segment)
(c) Since ∠OAT = 90°, then ∠OAD = 90° − 40° = 50°
Also ∠𝐎𝐎𝐎𝐎𝐎𝐎 = ∠𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀 = 𝟓𝟓𝟓𝟓° (base ∠𝐬𝐬 of an isosceles triangle)
∠AOD = 180° − (50° + 50°) = 80°
∴ ∠𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀 = 180° − 80° = 𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏°
� E = 180° ÷ 2 = 𝟒𝟒𝟒𝟒° ( ∠ at the centre is half the angle at the circumf)
4. (a) A D
(b) ∠DAE = (180° − 40°) ÷ 2 = 70° (Base ∠s in an isosceles ∆)
(c) Since ∠ADB = ACB = 20°, then ∠EDB = 40° + 20° = 60°.
So ∠EAB = 180° − 60° = 120° (opposite ∠s in a cyclic quadrilateral)
∴ ∠𝐁𝐁𝐁𝐁𝐁𝐁 = 𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏° − 𝟕𝟕𝟕𝟕° = 𝟓𝟓𝟓𝟓°

5. (a) ∠𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀 = 120° ÷ 2 = 𝟔𝟔𝟔𝟔° ( Angle at the centre is half the angle at circumf)
(b) ∠𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀 = 180° − 60° = 𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏° ( Sum of opposite ∠s in a cyclic quadrilateral)
(c) ∠𝐂𝐂𝐂𝐂𝐂𝐂 = ∠𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀 = 𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏° (alternate and opposite interior angle)
∴ ∠ = 𝐃𝐃𝐃𝐃𝐃𝐃 = (𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏° − 𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏°) ÷ 𝟐𝟐 = 𝟑𝟑𝟑𝟑°
6. (a) ∠RWX = ∠XYW = 𝟒𝟒𝟒𝟒° (alternate segment and opposite interior angle)
(b) ∠XVW = ∠RWX = 𝟒𝟒𝟒𝟒° (same segment)
(c) ∠YWX = 180° − (44° + 54° + 39°) (∠𝐬𝐬 on the straight line)
∠𝐘𝐘𝐘𝐘𝐘𝐘 = 𝟒𝟒𝟒𝟒°
∴ 𝐘𝐘𝐘𝐘𝐘𝐘 = 𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏° − (𝟒𝟒𝟒𝟒° + 𝟒𝟒𝟒𝟒°) = 𝟗𝟗𝟗𝟗°
7. (a) Since ∠ACF = 20° and ∠FCD = 70°, this makes angle ACD = 90°. Therefore
∠ACD is an angle in the semi-circle if and only if AD is a diameter.
(b)(i) ∠ACF = ∠AE = 20° (angles in the same segment are equal) Ans
(ii) ∠DEF = 180° − 70° = 110° (Opposite ∠s in a cyclic quadrilateral) Ans
8. (a) ∠CBD = CAD = 33° (angles in the same segment are equal) Ans
(b) ∠ACD = 90° − 42° = 𝟒𝟒𝟒𝟒° Ans
(c) ∠ADX =∠ACB = 42° and so ∠AXD = 180° − (33° + 42°) = 105°
∴ ∠AXB = 180° − ∠AXD° (Angles on the straight line)
= 180° − 105°
= 𝟕𝟕𝟕𝟕° Ans
9. (a) ∠PRS = ∠PQS = 26° (∠s in the same segment are equal)
(b) ∠PRQ = 180° − (42° + 90°)
= 180° −132°
= 𝟒𝟒𝟒𝟒° Ans
(c) Since TP ⊥ PR, then ∠TPR = 90°
So ∠TPQ = 90° + 42° = 132°
∴ ∠PTQ = 180° − (132° + 26°)
= 22° Ans
