Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Identify properties from the diagram.

    The figure shows a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD inscribed in a circle with center O.

    • AB is a diameter because it passes through the center O.
    • ∠BCD=110∘\angle BCD = 110^\circ.
    • ∠ADC=t\angle ADC = t.
    • Chord CD = Chord CB (indicated by the double hash marks).
  2. Use the property of angles in a semicircle.

    Since AB is a diameter, the angle subtended by the diameter at any point on the circumference is 90∘90^\circ.
    Therefore, ∠ADB=90∘\angle ADB = 90^\circ.

  3. Use the property of opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral.

    In a cyclic quadrilateral, opposite angles sum to 180∘180^\circ.

    ∠DAB+∠BCD=180∘\angle DAB + \angle BCD = 180^\circ

    Substitute the given value for ∠BCD\angle BCD:

    ∠DAB+110∘=180∘\angle DAB + 110^\circ = 180^\circ ∠DAB=180∘−110∘=70∘\angle DAB = 180^\circ - 110^\circ = 70^\circ
  4. Use the property of equal chords.

    Given that chord CD = chord CB.
    Equal chords subtend equal angles at the circumference. This means the angles subtended by these chords at any point on the remaining part of the circumference are equal.
    Specifically, ∠CAD\angle CAD (subtended by chord CD) is equal to ∠CAB\angle CAB (subtended by chord CB).
    So, ∠CAD=∠CAB\angle CAD = \angle CAB.
    Since $\angle DAB = \angle CAD + \
