join BO &angles OCB=OBC=y(OC & OB are radius) similarly angles OED=ODE=x(OE & OD are radius) similarly angles OBE=OEB=30(OE & OB are radius) CBED is a cyclic quardilatral- Therefore, CBE+CDE=180 (cyclic quardilatral property) (y+30)+x=180 x+y=150 we know that BCD=x & ODE=y Therefore , BCD+ODE+CAD=180 x+y+CAD=180 150+CAD=180 (x+y=150,proved above ) CAD=180-150 =30

hey man, if u join BO so the angles OEB=OBE=30 thus make the angle BOE will equal 120 , but according to your image, the angle BOE is an acute angle so I don't know how u found the solution

never think an angle acute,obtuse or right by just lookng and guessing

Anany Prakhar - 7 years, 2 months ago

frankly i too faced this same problem. though 30 has been deemed as the right ans i think that the angle value is wrong

this was the the problem i faced while giving my pre-boards exam ....teachers in school dont even think that students generally visualize the problems an pre-solve it inside there head.....but i am happy to see that people on this globe are like me....:D

By drawing a line from B to O, isosceles triangle BOE will be formed. That gives angle BOE = 180-2(30)=120 deg

Angle BOE = Arc BE = 120 deg

Arc CD = 180 deg (semicircle)

The angle formed by two sectors intersecting at the outside of the circle is equal to 1/2 of the difference of the intercepted arcs.

Thus, angle A= 1/2 (Arc CD - Arc BE) = 1/2 (180-120) = 30 deg

interesting , but can you elaborate on, the angle thats formed by 2 sectors a bit more

Vinu Joseph - 7 years, 3 months ago

Based on the principle. The external angle of a cyclic quadrangle is equal to opposite internal angle.

Angle A= (1/2)(measure of arc DC-measure of arc BE) [Angle formed by two intersecting secants] Angle A= (1/2)(180-120) [arc DC is a semicircle; arc BE=angle EOB] Thus, Angle A=(1/2)(60)=30

Cyclic quadrilateral property: If a side of a cyclic quadrilateral is produced then the angle thus formed is equal to the interior opposite angle .

Since O is the center of the circle, <AOD becomes 90º (180-90=90º). E is the center of AD, then <EOD = 45º (90-45=45º). <BEO is 30, then <OED = 60º (90-30=60º). <ODE = 75º [180-(60+45)=75º] <ADC = <ACD, therefore <ADC = 75º and <ACD = 75º <CAD = 30º [180-(75+75)=30º]

let a angle @ in ODE triangle.......................... consider big triangle...... u will get the answer

Tasnim Rawat

First we join O to B. OE = OB as they are radius of a circle.

Angle EBO = Angle OEB =30 ; angle O = 120 by triangle law .

Then <EOD =<BOC ; OE = OD ; <OED = <ODE =75

So <OED + <OEB + <BEA =180 ; <BEA =75

<BEA = <EBA =75 ; therefore <BAE =30

just let angOED=x

=>angODE= x

=>angAEB= (150-x)

=>angCBE= 180-x ..........(BECD is a cyclic quad, sum of opp angles of a cyclic quad is 180 deg)

=>angABE= 180-(angCBE) =180-(180-x) =x

=>angABE + angAEB + angBAE =180

   =>x+(150-x)+angBAE=180

   =>angBAE=180-150=30

step one: triangles EOD and ACD are similar as both have the same angel "D", and share the same sides therefore OE is Parallel to CA Step two: in trapezium BCOE , since OE is parallel to CB therefore angle BCO is 30 and angel EOC is 150 Step three: in trapezium ACOE, since OE is parallel to CA and angle EOC equals 30 therefore angle A equals 30

join EC since triangle COE is an isosceles triangle angle CEO=OCE=15; therefore angle COE=150; COD=180 then angle EOD=30 and COB=30. since triagle EOD is also an isosceles triangle so angle OED=ODE 180-EOD=150; OED and ODE equals 150 divide 2 =75 now we had D as 75 angle COB=30 and this is also an isosceles triangle then OCB = OBC; 180-COB=150 ; 150divide 2=75 meaning C=75 C+D+A=180 75+75+A=180 A=180-150= 30

I got the answer just simply rotating OEB counter-clockwise and voila its the same angle with CAD

add the 2 points B& O. after joining these points i got 5 separate triangles (BOC), (BOE),(DOE),(ABE)&(ACD). Now we can consider Triangle (OED), ODE&OED are same angle, i use it as x,from this triangle we get EOD=180-2x. Now we can consider triangle OBE&OEB =30,so BOE=120, then in triangle BOC, B&C is same,we can marked angle B&C as y , by calculating BOC=2x-120. Now at point o, summation of all angles is equal to 180. BOC+BPE+EOD=180. or x+y=150. then at triangle ACD, A+x+y=180or A=30. So, finally in triangle ACD, angle CAD=180-

steps:

  1. join points BO to form triangle BOE(an isosceles triangle)

  2. BO = OE;Angle OBE = OEB = 30 deg

  3. similarly CO = OD = BO = EO therefore

  4. angles BOC = EOD = BEO = 30 deg; angles CBO = OED = (180 - 30)/2 = 75 deg

  5. angles ABE = AEB = 180 - (30+75) = 75 ;therefore

angle BAE = 180 - (75+75) = 30 deg....Check

i would like to suggest you to reconsider your 4 point,,,,check it again baby...lol

Draw line BO, angle EBO =30, In quad BECD, 30+CBO+BCD+30+OED+EDC=360, since OED=ODE (angles opposite equal sides of a triangle) similarly BCO=CBO; 2(BCO+CDO)=300 and BCO+CDO= 180-A, 180-A=150 hence A=30.

Sivaji Gali

By drawing a line from B to O - BO is radius and EO aslo radius, Hence <OBE and <OEB are equal i.e <OBE=30. Hence <BOE=120. OC=OB(Radius) so <OCB=<OBC = x OE=OD(Radius) so <ODE=<OED=y Let <COB=k1 and <DOC=k2 Now <COB+<BOE+<DOE=180 ===> k1+k2+120=180===> k1+k2=60 Now x+x+k1=180 and y+y+k2=180 So 2x+2y+k1+k2= 360 ===> 2x+2y=300 ===> x+y=150. Now in Triangle ACD x+y+<A = 180 ===> <A=30

join BO &angles OCB=OBC=y(OC & OB are radius) similarly angles OED=ODE=x(OE & OD are radius) similarly angles OBE=OEB=30(OE & OB are radius) CBED is a cyclic quardilatral- Therefore, CBE+CDE=180 (cyclic quardilatral property) (y+30)+x=180 , x+y=150 we know that BCD=x & ODE=y Therefore , BCD+ODE+CAD=180, x+y+CAD=180 150+CAD=180 (x+y=150,proved above ) CAD=180-150 =30

Let us join BO. Now,angle OBE = angle OEB = 30 .Similarly,angle Ode= angle oed.angle OCB= angle OBC.y+30+x=180 x+y=150.So,angle A = 30 x is angle deo is x and cbo is y. bedc is cyclic so, b+d and e+c is 180

let <acd = X , <adc = y in triangle abe and triangle adc angle X = angle aeb (angle acd + angle deb = 180 , and also angle deb + angle aeb ) similarly , angle adc = Y = angle abe (angle adc + angle cbe = 180 and also angle ceb + angle abe = 180) so, triangle abc is similar to triangle adc also, angle obc=angle ocb = X ( isosceles triangle ) angle ode = angle oed = Y ( isosceles triangle ) also , angle obe = 30 degree , we know , angle X + 30 drgree + angle Y = 180 degree ( opposite angle of a cyclic quadrilateral )
similarly, angle Y + 30 degree + angle X = 180 degree( opposite angle of a cyclic quadrilateral ) so , angle X + angle Y = 150 degree
also , in triangle , ABE , angle ABE + angle AEB + angle BAE = 180 degree X + Y + angle BAE = 180 or, but , X + Y = 150 degree so angle BAE= 30 degree

DEO is an equilateral triangel so each angle degrees = 60. angle BEA=180-angle DEO-angle BEO= 180-60-30=90 angle EBA is different line angle of BEO so the degrees is 60 So the angle CAD = angle BAE = 180-angle BEA-angle EBA = 180-90-60= 30

how can you say that triangle DEO is an equilateral triangle?
