Step-by-step solution
4 stepsHere's how to find the values of and using circle theorems:
Find .
The angle at the circumference is . The central angle subtends the same arc (the arc from the top-left vertex to the bottom-right vertex). The angle subtended by an arc at the center is twice the angle subtended by the same arc at any point on the remaining part of the circle.
Find .
Angles and are central angles that together form a full circle ().
Find .
The four vertices on the circle form a cyclic quadrilateral. In a cyclic quadrilateral, opposite angles sum to . The angle is at the top-right vertex, and the angle is at the bottom-left vertex. These are opposite angles.
Find .
The angle is at the top-left vertex. It subtends the arc from the bottom-left vertex to the top-right vertex. The central angle subtending this arc is not directly given. However, we can use the property that angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are equal.
Alternatively, we can use the property that the angle at the circumference is half the central angle subtending the same arc.
Angle subtends the arc from the bottom-left vertex to the top-right vertex.
Angle subtends the arc from the bottom-left vertex to the bottom-right vertex.
Let's re-examine the diagram for . Angle is at the top-left vertex. The angle opposite to in the cyclic quadrilateral is the angle at the bottom-right vertex. Let's call this angle . So .
The angle subtends the arc from the bottom-left vertex to the top-right vertex.
The central angle is the reflex angle subtending the arc from the top-left vertex to the bottom-right vertex.
The angle is at the circumference and subtends the major arc from the bottom-left vertex to the top-right vertex.
The angle is at the circumference and subtends the major arc from the top-left vertex to the bottom-right vertex.
Let's use the property that angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are equal.
Angle is at the top-left vertex. Angle is at the top-right vertex.
The angle is at the bottom-left vertex.
The central angle subtends the arc from the top-left vertex to the bottom-right vertex.
The angle is at the top-right vertex. It subtends the arc from the bottom-left vertex to the bottom-right vertex.
The central angle subtending the arc from the bottom-left vertex to the bottom-right vertex is not or .Let's re-evaluate and based on the central angles and .
The angle is at the circumference and subtends the arc whose central angle is . So .
The angle is at the circumference and subtends the arc whose central angle is .This matches the result from the cyclic quadrilateral property. This confirms the interpretation of .
Now for . Angle is at the circumference. It subtends the arc whose central angle is .
