Worked solution

6(a)(i)

1. Find the angle between $OA$ and $OC$.

Since AEAE is a tangent at AA, OA⊥AEOA \perp AE.

So ∠OAE=90∘\angle OAE = 90^\circ.

In △OAE\triangle OAE,
∠AOE=180∘−90∘−28∘=62∘.\angle AOE = 180^\circ - 90^\circ - 28^\circ = 62^\circ.
Since O,C,EO, C, E are collinear,
∠AOC=62∘.\angle AOC = 62^\circ.

2. Find the central angle $\angle COD$.

OC=OD=5OC=OD=5 cm because they are radii of the circle, and CD=5CD=5 cm.

Hence △OCD\triangle OCD is equilateral.

Therefore
∠COD=60∘.\angle COD = 60^\circ.

3. Find $\angle OAD$ using isosceles triangle $AOD$.

From the diagram, ∠AOD=∠AOC+∠COD\angle AOD = \angle AOC + \angle COD.

∠AOD=62∘+60∘=122∘.\angle AOD = 62^\circ + 60^\circ = 122^\circ.

Since OA=ODOA=OD are radii, △AOD\triangle AOD is isosceles.

Thus
∠OAD=∠ODA=180∘−122∘2=29∘.\angle OAD = \angle ODA = \frac{180^\circ - 122^\circ}{2} = 29^\circ.

Answer

∠OAD=29∘\angle OAD = 29^\circ

6(a)(ii)

1. Find $\angle ADC$ using the angle at $D$ split by $DO$.

From part (a)(i), ∠OAD=29∘\angle OAD = 29^\circ.

Since OA=ODOA=OD, triangle AODAOD is isosceles, so

∠ODA=29∘\angle ODA = 29^\circ.

Also, OC=OD=CD=5 cmOC=OD=CD=5\text{ cm}, so triangle OCDOCD is equilateral and

∠ODC=60∘\angle ODC = 60^\circ.

Hence

∠ADC=∠ADO+∠ODC=29∘+60∘=89∘\angle ADC = \angle ADO + \angle ODC = 29^\circ + 60^\circ = 89^\circ.

2. Use opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral to find $\angle ABC$.

Since AA, BB, CC and DD lie on the circle, ABCDABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.

Opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary, so

∠ABC+∠ADC=180∘\angle ABC + \angle ADC = 180^\circ.

∠ABC=180∘−89∘=91∘\angle ABC = 180^\circ - 89^\circ = 91^\circ.

Answer

∠ABC=91∘\angle ABC = 91^\circ
