In the given figure ABCD is a cyclic quadilateral; O is the centre of the circle. If ∠ BOD= 160∘,find the measure of ∠ BPD= x∘ .The value of x is
Consider the arc BCD of the circle. This arc makes ∠BOD = 160∘ at the centre of the circle and ∠BAD at a point A on the circumference.
∠BAD = ∠BOD = 80∘
Now, ABPD is a cyclic quadrilateral.
∠BAD + ∠BPD = 180∘
80∘ + ∠BPD = 180∘
∠BPD = 100∘
∠BCD = 100∘ [∵∠BPD and ∠BCD are angles in the same segment ∴∠BCD = ∠BPD ]
