If $O$ is the centre of the circle, find the value of $x$ in given figure :
Answer
$\ce{\angle ODB=\angle OAC=50^{\circ}} [$angles in the same segment$]$
$\ce{OB = OD}$
$\ce{\Rightarrow \angle OBD=\angle ODB=50^{\circ}=x^{\circ}}$
$\Rightarrow x ^{\circ}=50^{\circ}$
In the given figure, two circles intersect at two points A and B. AD and AC are diameters to the two circles. Prove that B lies on the line segment DC.
Answer
In the given diagram join AB. Also $\angle ABD =90^{\circ}$ (because angle in a semicircle is always $90^{\circ}$) Similarly, we have $\angle A B C=90^{\circ}$ So, $\angle ABD +\angle ABC =90^{\circ}+90^{\circ}=180^{\circ}$ Therefore, DBC is a line i.e., B lies on the line segment DC.
In given figure, $\text{AOB}$ is a diameter of the circle and $\text{C, D, E}$ are any three points on the semi$-$circle. Find the value of $\angle ACD +\angle BED$.
Answer
Join $\text{BC}$,
Then, $\angle ACB =90^{\circ} ($Angle in the semicircle$)$
Since $DCBE$ is a cyclic quadrilateral.
$\angle BCD +\angle BED =180^{\circ}$
Adding $\angle ACB$ both the sides, we get
$\angle BCD +\angle BED +\angle ACB =\angle ACB +180^{\circ}$
$(\angle BCD +\angle ACB )+\angle BED =90^{\circ}+180^{\circ}$
$\angle ACD +\angle BED =270^{\circ}$
