Question 59

MediumOriginal question

ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral with ∠B=(3x+5)∘\angle B = (3x + 5)^\circ and ∠D=(2x+25)∘\angle D = (2x + 25)^\circ. What is ∠D\angle D?

CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral add up to 180°: (3x+5)+(2x+25)=180(3x + 5) + (2x + 25) = 180.

  2. 5x+30=1805x + 30 = 180, so x=30x = 30.

  3. ∠D=2×30+25=85∘\angle D = 2 \times 30 + 25 = 85^\circ. (∠B=95∘\angle B = 95^\circ, and 85+95=18085 + 95 = 180.)

Worth noting

Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary, not equal. Setting them equal gives 65°.
