Answer

D. 125∘\text{D. } 125^\circ

Step-by-step solution

7 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, ∠ACB=90∘\angle ACB = 90^\circ.

  3. Calculate ∠ACD\angle ACD.

    We know ∠BCD=∠BCA+∠ACD\angle BCD = \angle BCA + \angle ACD.
    Substitute the known values:

    110∘=90∘+∠ACD110^\circ = 90^\circ + \angle ACD ∠ACD=110∘−90∘=20∘\angle ACD = 110^\circ - 90^\circ = 20^\circ
  4. Use the property of equal chords.

    Given that chord CD = chord CB.
    Equal chords subtend equal arcs. Therefore, arc CD = arc CB.
    Angles subtended by equal arcs at the circumference are equal.
    So, ∠CAD=∠CAB\angle CAD = \angle CAB.

  5. 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
  6. Calculate ∠CAD\angle CAD.

    We know ∠DAB=∠CAD+∠CAB\angle DAB = \angle CAD + \angle CAB.
    Since ∠CAD=∠CAB\angle CAD = \angle CAB (from Step 4), we can write:

    ∠DAB=2×∠CAD\angle DAB = 2 \times \angle CAD 70∘=2×∠CAD70^\circ = 2 \times \angle CAD ∠CAD=70∘2=35∘\angle CAD = \frac{70^\circ}{2} = 35^\circ
  7. Find tt using the sum of angles in △ADC\triangle ADC.

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

    ∠ADC+∠CAD+∠ACD=180∘\angle ADC + \angle CAD + \angle ACD = 180^\circ

    Substitute the values for ∠CAD\angle CAD and ∠ACD\angle ACD:

    t+35∘+20∘=180∘t + 35^\circ + 20^\circ = 180^\circ t+55∘=180∘t + 55^\circ = 180^\circ t=180∘−55∘t = 180^\circ - 55^\circ t=125∘t = 125^\circ

    The value of tt is 125∘125^\circ. This corresponds to option D.

    The final answer is D. 125∘\text{D. } 125^\circ.
