The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the measure of angle BCD in the cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, given that angle DBP is 65 degrees. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Given Information**: - ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral. - PBQ is a tangent to the circle at point B. - Angle DBP = 65 degrees. 2. **Draw the Figure**: - Draw the cyclic quadrilateral ABCD. - Mark the tangent PBQ at point B. - Label the angles as given in the problem. 3. **Identify Angles**: - Since PBQ is a tangent to the circle at point B, the radius OB is perpendicular to the tangent PB. Therefore, angle OBD + angle DBP = 90 degrees. - Let angle OBD be denoted as \( \theta \). Then: \[ \theta + 65^\circ = 90^\circ \] - Solving for \( \theta \): \[ \theta = 90^\circ - 65^\circ = 25^\circ \] 4. **Use Isosceles Triangle Properties**: - In triangle OBD, OB = OD (both are radii of the circle). - Therefore, triangle OBD is isosceles, which means angles OBD and ODB are equal. - Let angle OBD = angle ODB = \( \theta = 25^\circ \). 5. **Find Angle DOB**: - The sum of angles in triangle OBD is: \[ \text{Angle OBD} + \text{Angle ODB} + \text{Angle DOB} = 180^\circ \] - Substituting the known angles: \[ 25^\circ + 25^\circ + \text{Angle DOB} = 180^\circ \] - Therefore: \[ \text{Angle DOB} = 180^\circ - 50^\circ = 130^\circ \] 6. **Relate Angle DAB to Angle DOB**: - Since angle DAB subtends the same arc as angle DOB at the circumference, we have: \[ \text{Angle DAB} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Angle DOB} = \frac{1}{2} \times 130^\circ = 65^\circ \] 7. **Use the Cyclic Quadrilateral Property**: - In cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, the opposite angles are supplementary: \[ \text{Angle DAB} + \text{Angle BCD} = 180^\circ \] - Substituting the known value: \[ 65^\circ + \text{Angle BCD} = 180^\circ \] - Therefore: \[ \text{Angle BCD} = 180^\circ - 65^\circ = 115^\circ \] ### Final Answer: The measure of angle BCD is \( 115^\circ \).
