Circle theorems & cyclic quadrilaterals

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

  1. 1. ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral inscribed in a circle. If interior angle ∠ABC = 124°, find the opposite interior angle ∠ADC.

    56°

    Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral sum to 180°: 180° − 124° = 56°.

  2. 2. ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral inscribed in a circle. If interior angle ∠ABC = 75°, find the opposite interior angle ∠ADC.

    105°

    Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral sum to 180°: 180° − 75° = 105°.

  3. 3. Points A, B, and C lie on a circle with centre O. If the angle at the circumference ∠ACB = 35°, find the angle at the centre ∠AOB.

    70°

    By the circle theorem, the angle at the centre is twice the angle at the circumference subtended by the same arc: 2 × 35° = 70°.

  4. 4. Points A, B, and C lie on a circle with centre O. If the angle at the circumference ∠ACB = 61°, find the angle at the centre ∠AOB.

    122°

    By the circle theorem, the angle at the centre is twice the angle at the circumference subtended by the same arc: 2 × 61° = 122°.

  5. 5. Points A, B, and C lie on a circle with centre O. If the angle at the circumference ∠ACB = 74°, find the angle at the centre ∠AOB.

    148°

    By the circle theorem, the angle at the centre is twice the angle at the circumference subtended by the same arc: 2 × 74° = 148°.

  6. 6. Points A, B, and C lie on a circle with centre O. If the angle at the circumference ∠ACB = 72°, find the angle at the centre ∠AOB.

    144°

    By the circle theorem, the angle at the centre is twice the angle at the circumference subtended by the same arc: 2 × 72° = 144°.
