MCQ
The diagonals $AC$ and $BD$ of a rectangle $\text{ABCD}$ intersect each other at $P$. If $\angle\text{ABD}=50^\circ,$ then $\angle\text{DPC}=$
- A$70^\circ$
- B$90^\circ$
- ✓$80^\circ$
- D$100^\circ$
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
$80^\circ$
In $\triangle\text{ABD},$
$\angle\text{BDA}+\angle\text{ABD}+\angle\text{DAB}=180^\circ$
$\angle\text{ABD}=50^\circ$ and $\angle\text{DAB}=90^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{BDA}=180^\circ-90^\circ-50^\circ=40^\circ$
Consider $\triangle\text{ABD}\ \ \ \triangle\text{BAC}$
$\text{AD}=\text{BC},\ \angle\text{DAB}=\angle\text{ABC}=90^\circ,\text{BD}=\text{AC}$
Hence, by $\text{RHS}$ property $\triangle\text{ABD}\cong\triangle\text{BAC}$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{ABD}=\angle\text{BAC}=50^\circ$
Now, consider $\triangle\text{ABP}$
$\angle\text{PAB}+\angle\text{PBA}+\angle\text{APB}=180^\circ$
$\angle\text{PAB}=\angle\text{BAC}=50^\circ$
$\angle\text{PAB}=\angle\text{ABD}=50^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{APB}=180^\circ-50^\circ-50^\circ=80^\circ$
Now, $\angle\text{APB}=\angle\text{DPC} ($Opposite angles$)$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{DPC}=80^\circ$
