Join AC
then C A D = 9 0 \angle CAD = 90 ^ \circ (because CD is diameter)
Then C A O = 7 0 \angle CAO = 70 ^ \circ .
\bigtriangleup CAO is an isosceles \bigtriangleup because OA and OC is radius.
O C A \angle OCA = O A C \angle OAC
O C A = 7 0 \angle OCA = 70 ^ \circ Then C O A = 4 0 \angle COA = 40 ^ \circ (Angle sum property)
C O A \angle COA = O A B \angle OAB (Alternate interior angle)


O A B \angle OAB = O B A \angle OBA ( OA = OB )
So, A B C = 10 0 \angle ABC = 100 ^ \circ

Nice one

As O A D \bigtriangleup OAD is isosceles, we have O D A = 2 0 \angle ODA = 20^{\circ} and, as C D A B \overline{CD} \parallel \overline{AB} , we have D A B = 2 0 \angle DAB = 20^{\circ} .

Therefore, as O A B \bigtriangleup OAB is isosceles, we have O B A = 4 0 \angle OBA = 40^{\circ} and, hence, A O B = 10 0 \angle AOB = 100^{\circ}

Just focus on triangle DOA, since it is an isosceles triangle, angle A and D are equal to 20 deg, and angle O is 140. OA and OB are also equal, so it means that it also have equal angles. So make a perpendicular line from point O to line AB, from that you made a 90 deg angle, subtract 90 from 140 then multiply it by two, then youll get 100 degrees

Given that,

CD||AB

<DAO=20 degrees

In this circle,

radius,OA=OB=OC=OD

In triangle AOD

OA=OD

so,<ODA=<OAD

therefore,<ODA=20 degrees (given that,angle DAO=20 degrees)

again, as CD||AB

so, <CDA=<DAB (as,they are alternative angles)

=> <ODA=<DAB

so, <DAB=20 degrees

now, <OAD=20 degrees,<DAB=20 degrees

so,<OAB=<OAD+<DAB =(20+20) degrees =40 degrees

again,in triangle OAB

OA=OB (as they are radius)

so,<OBA=<OAB

therefore,<OBA=40 degrees

in triangle OAB

<OAB+<OBA+<AOB=180 degrees

=> <AOB+80 degrees=180 degrees

so,<AOB=100 degrees
