Question 62

MediumOriginal question

ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral. Side AB is extended beyond B to a point E, and ∠CBE=78∘\angle CBE = 78^\circ. What is ∠ADC\angle ADC?

CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. ∠ABC=180∘−78∘=102∘\angle ABC = 180^\circ - 78^\circ = 102^\circ (angles on the straight line AE).

  2. Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary: ∠ADC=180∘−102∘=78∘\angle ADC = 180^\circ - 102^\circ = 78^\circ.

Worth noting

Shortcut: an exterior angle of a cyclic quadrilateral equals the interior opposite angle. 102° is ∠ABC\angle ABC.
