The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Draw the cyclic quadrilateral We start by drawing a circle and labeling the points A, B, C, and D such that ABCD forms a cyclic quadrilateral. We know that BC is parallel to AD. ### Step 2: Identify given angles From the problem, we have: - Angle ADC = 110° - Angle BAC = 50° ### Step 3: Use the property of cyclic quadrilaterals In a cyclic quadrilateral, opposite angles are supplementary. Therefore, we can find angle ABC: \[ \text{Angle ABC} = 180° - \text{Angle ADC} = 180° - 110° = 70° \] ### Step 4: Use the angle sum property in triangle ABC In triangle ABC, we can apply the angle sum property: \[ \text{Angle BAC} + \text{Angle ABC} + \text{Angle BCA} = 180° \] Substituting the known values: \[ 50° + 70° + \text{Angle BCA} = 180° \] \[ \text{Angle BCA} = 180° - 120° = 60° \] ### Step 5: Use the property of parallel lines Since BC is parallel to AD, angle BCA is equal to angle CAD (alternate interior angles): \[ \text{Angle DAC} = \text{Angle BCA} = 60° \] ### Step 6: Find angle DCA Now, we need to find angle DCA in triangle ACD. We know: - Angle ADC = 110° - Angle DAC = 60° Using the angle sum property in triangle ACD: \[ \text{Angle DAC} + \text{Angle DCA} + \text{Angle ADC} = 180° \] Substituting the known values: \[ 60° + \text{Angle DCA} + 110° = 180° \] \[ \text{Angle DCA} = 180° - 170° = 10° \] ### Final Answers - Angle DAC = 60° - Angle DCA = 10° ---
