Here's the solution to question 11:

Part a· 3 steps

  1. Calculate ∠ABC\angle ABC.

    ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral. The opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral sum to 180∘180^\circ.

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

    Given ∠ADC=75∘\angle ADC = 75^\circ.

    ∠ABC=180∘−75∘\angle ABC = 180^\circ - 75^\circ ∠ABC=105∘\angle ABC = \boxed{\text{105}^\circ}
  2. Calculate ∠SAD\angle SAD.

    In △APD\triangle APD:
    The sum of angles in a triangle is 180∘180^\circ.

    ∠PAD+∠APD+∠ADP=180∘\angle PAD + \angle APD + \angle ADP = 180^\circ

    Given ∠APD=50∘\angle APD = 50^\circ.
    Since D, P, C are collinear, ∠ADP=∠ADC=75∘\angle ADP = \angle ADC = 75^\circ.

    ∠PAD+50∘+75∘=180∘\angle PAD + 50^\circ + 75^\circ = 180^\circ ∠PAD=180∘−125∘\angle PAD = 180^\circ - 125^\circ ∠PAD=55∘\angle PAD = 55^\circ

    The radius AO is perpendicular to the tangent ST at point A.

    ∠SAO=90∘\angle SAO = 90^\circ ∠SAD=∠SAO−∠DAO\angle SAD = \angle SAO - \angle DAO

    Since P lies on the extension of AO, ∠DAO=∠PAD=55∘\angle DAO = \angle PAD = 55^\circ.

    ∠SAD=90∘−55∘\angle SAD = 90^\circ - 55^\circ ∠SAD=35∘\angle SAD = \boxed{\text{35}^\circ}
  3. Calculate ∠POC\angle POC.

    In △OAD\triangle OAD, OA and OD are radii, so △OAD\triangle OAD is an isosceles triangle.

    ∠ODA=∠OAD=55∘\angle ODA = \angle OAD = 55^\circ

    Now, find ∠ODC\angle ODC:

    ∠ODC=∠ADC−∠ODA\angle ODC = \angle ADC - \angle ODA ∠ODC=75∘−55∘\angle ODC = 75^\circ - 55^\circ ∠ODC=20∘\angle ODC = 20^\circ

    In △ODC\triangle ODC, OC and OD are radii, so △ODC\triangle ODC is an isosceles triangle.

    ∠OCD=∠ODC=20∘\angle OCD = \angle ODC = 20^\circ

    In △OPC\triangle OPC:
    The sum of angles in a triangle is 180∘180^\circ.

    ∠POC+∠OPC+∠OCP=180∘\angle POC + \angle OPC + \angle OCP = 180^\circ

    ∠OPC\angle OPC is the same as ∠APD=50∘\angle APD = 50^\circ.
    ∠OCP\angle OCP is the same as ∠OCD=20∘\angle OCD = 20^\circ.

    ∠POC+50∘+20∘=180∘\angle POC + 50^\circ + 20^\circ = 180^\circ ∠POC=180∘−70∘\angle POC = 180^\circ - 70^\circ ∠POC=110∘\angle POC = \boxed{\text{110}^\circ}

Part b

(90−x)∘(90 - x)^\circ

  1. Express ∠EHK\angle EHK in terms of xx.

    The diagonals of a rhombus intersect at right angles. Therefore, ∠EKH=90∘\angle EKH = 90^\circ.
    In △EHK\triangle EHK, the sum of angles is 180∘180^\circ.

    ∠HEK+∠EHK+∠EKH=180∘\angle HEK + \angle EHK + \angle EKH = 180^\circ

    Given ∠HEK=x∘\angle HEK = x^\circ.

    x∘+∠EHK+90∘=180∘x^\circ + \angle EHK + 90^\circ = 180^\circ ∠EHK=180∘−90∘−x∘\angle EHK = 180^\circ - 90^\circ - x^\circ ∠EHK=(90−x)∘\angle EHK = \boxed{(90 - x)^\circ}
  2. Express ∠FGH\angle FGH in terms of xx.

    The diagonals of a rhombus bisect the angles of the rhombus.
    Given ∠HEK=x∘\angle HEK = x^\circ. This means ∠HEK\angle HEK is half of ∠FEH\angle FEH.

    ∠FEH=2×∠HEK\angle FEH = 2 \times \angle HEK ∠FEH=2x∘\angle FEH = 2x^\circ

    Opposite angles of a rhombus are equal.

    ∠FGH=∠FEH\angle FGH = \angle FEH ∠FGH=2x∘\angle FGH = \boxed{2x^\circ}
