Marks: +1, -0
In the given circle with centre O,∠ABC=O, \angle ABC= 100∘,∠ACD=40∘100^{\circ}, \angle ACD=40^{\circ} and CTC T is a tangent to the circle at CC. Find ∠ADC\angle ADC and ∠DCT\angle DCT.
Solution:  
Given : ∠ABC=100∘,∠ACD=40∘\angle ABC=100^{\circ}, \angle ACD=40^{\circ}
We know that,
∠ABC+∠ADC=180∘\angle ABC+\angle ADC=180^{\circ}
(The sum of opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral =180∘=180^{\circ} )
∴    100∘+∠ADC  =180∘\therefore \;\; 100^{\circ}+\angle ADC\;=180^{\circ}
∠ADC  =180∘−100∘\angle ADC\;=180^{\circ}-100^{\circ}
∠ADC  =80∘\angle ADC\;=80^{\circ}
Join OA and OC, we have a isosceles â–³OAC\triangle OAC ,
  ∵    OA=OC\; \because \;\; OA=OC     (Radii of a circle)  \;\;\text{(Radii of a circle)}\;
  ∴    ∠AOC=2×∠ADC\; \therefore \;\; \angle AOC=2 \times \angle ADC (by theorem)
∠AOC=2×80∘=160∘\angle AOC=2 \times 80^{\circ}=160^{\circ}
In â–³AOC\triangle AOC ,
∠AOC+∠OAC+∠OCA  =180∘\angle AOC+\angle OAC+\angle OCA\;=180^{\circ}
160∘+∠OCA+∠OCA  =180∘160^{\circ}+\angle OCA+\angle OCA\;=180^{\circ}
[∵∠OAC=∠OCA]  {[ \because \angle OAC=\angle OCA]}\;
2∠OCA  =20∘2 \angle OCA\;=20^{\circ}
∠OCA  =10∘\angle OCA\;=10^{\circ}
∠OCA+∠OCD  =40∘\angle OCA+\angle OCD\;=40^{\circ}
10∘+∠OCD  =40∘10^{\circ}+\angle OCD\;=40^{\circ}
∴∠OCD  =30∘\therefore\angle OCD\;=30^{\circ}
Hence,    ∠OCD+∠DCT  =∠OCTHence,\;\; \angle OCD+\angle DCT\;=\angle OCT
∵∠OCT  =90∘\because \angle OCT\;=90^{\circ}
(The tangent at a point to circle is ⊥\perp to the radius through the point of contact)
  30∘+∠DCT  =90∘\;30^{\circ}+\angle DCT\;=90^{\circ}
  ∴    ∠DCT  =60∘\; \therefore \;\; \angle DCT\;=60^{\circ}
