Solutions for the assessment Circle Theorems

1) angle AOB = 96 ° 2) angle OAB = 56 °

Reason: Isosceles triangle and angle sum of a Reason: Angle sum of a triangle is 180 ° and isosceles
triangle triangle

3) a) angle ABC = 90 °
b) angle ACB = 53 ° 4) angle ABO = 90 °
Reasons: Angle in a semicircle is 90 ° and angle Reason: Angle between tangent and radius is 90 °
sum of a triangle is 180 °

5) angle AOC = 80 °
6) angle ABC = 61 °
Reason: Angle at centre is twice angle at
Reason: Angle at centre is twice angle at circumference
circumference

7) a) angle BCD = 83 °
8) a) angle ABD = 70 °
b) angle CDA = 96 °
b) angle BAC = 45 °
Reason: Opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral
Reason: Angles in the same segment are equal
sum to 180 °

9) a) angle BAC = 52 ° 10) a) angle  x = 82 °

b) angle ADC = 52 ° b) angle   y = 139 °
Reason: Angle in a semicircle + angle between Reason: Angle at centre and circumference + cyclic
tangent and radius + angle sum of triangle quadrilateral

12) angle BAE = 60.5 °

11) angle BDC = 21 ° Reason: Angle at centre and circumference + angle
Reason: Angle in a semicircle + angle sum of between tangent and radius
triangle + angles in same segment or angles on a straight line + isosceles triangle + angle
sum of triangle + angle between tangent and radius
