The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the properties of cyclic trapeziums and the angles formed by the diameter of the circle. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Configuration**: - We have a cyclic trapezium ABCD where AB is parallel to DC and AB is the diameter of the circle. - Since AB is the diameter, angle ACB is a right angle (90 degrees) according to the inscribed angle theorem. 2. **Identifying Given Angles**: - We are given that angle CAB = 30 degrees. 3. **Finding Angle ABC**: - In triangle ABC, we know that the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. - Therefore, angle ABC can be calculated as: \[ \text{angle ABC} = 180^\circ - \text{angle CAB} - \text{angle ACB} \] \[ \text{angle ABC} = 180^\circ - 30^\circ - 90^\circ = 60^\circ \] 4. **Using the Properties of Cyclic Quadrilaterals**: - In a cyclic quadrilateral, the opposite angles are supplementary. Thus, angle ABC + angle ADC = 180 degrees. - We already found that angle ABC = 60 degrees. 5. **Calculating Angle ADC**: - Using the supplementary angle property: \[ \text{angle ADC} = 180^\circ - \text{angle ABC} \] \[ \text{angle ADC} = 180^\circ - 60^\circ = 120^\circ \] ### Final Answer: Thus, angle ADC is 120 degrees.
