Worked solution
6(a)(i)
1. Find the angle between $OA$ and $OC$.
Since is a tangent at , .
So .
In ,
Since are collinear,
2. Find the central angle $\angle COD$.
cm because they are radii of the circle, and cm.
Hence is equilateral.
Therefore
3. Find $\angle OAD$ using isosceles triangle $AOD$.
From the diagram, .
Since are radii, is isosceles.
Thus
6(a)(ii)
1. Find $\angle ADC$ using the angle at $D$ split by $DO$.
From part (a)(i), .
Since , triangle is isosceles, so
.
Also, , so triangle is equilateral and
.
Hence
.
2. Use opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral to find $\angle ABC$.
Since , , and lie on the circle, is a cyclic quadrilateral.
Opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary, so
.
.
