Solution

We are given ABCD is a quadrilateral with center O, ADE = 95° and OBA = 30°

We need to find OAC

We are given the following figure

Since ADE = 95°

⇒ ∠ADC = 180 ° − 95° = 85°

Since squo;ABCD is cyclic quadrilateral

This means

ABC + ADC = 180°

Since OB = OC (radius)

⇒ ∠OBC = OCB = 65°

In ΔOBC

Since ÐBAC and ÐBOC are formed on the same base which is chord.

So

Consider ΔBOA which is isosceles triangle.

OAB = 30°
