Q27. Two tangents PQ and PR are drawn from an external point to a circle with centre O. Prove that QORP is a cyclic quadrilateral.
OR
In the given figure, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral and PQ is tangent to the circle at C. If BD is a diameter, DCO and ABD = 60°, find BCE.
Dear Student,
∠DAB = 90° (Angle in a semi-circle)
In ΔABD,
∠ABD + ∠ADB + ∠DAB = 180°
⇒ ∠ADB = 180° – (60° + 90°)
⇒∠ADB = 180° – 150°
⇒∠ADB = 30°
∠DCQ = ∠CBD = 40°
(Alternate segment theorem)
∠BCD = 90°
In ΔBCD,
∠BCD + ∠BDC + ∠DBC = 180°
⇒ ∠BDC = 180° – (90° + 40°) = 50°
∠BDC = ∠BCP = 50° (Alternate segment theorem)
∴ (i) ∠ADB = 30°
(ii) ∠BCP = 50°
Hope this will help you and clear your doubt.
Regards,
