Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
The diagonals and of a cyclic quadrilateral are drawn. and . Find , and .
An exterior angle of a cyclic quadrilateral is equal to the interior opposite angle. The exterior angle and the interior angle at the same corner lie on a straight line, so they add up to . Angles in the same part of a circle, on the same chord, are equal.
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. The angle CBD. Both and are on the chord . So .
Step 2. The angle ABC. .
Step 3. The angle ADC. It is opposite to . So .
Step 4. The angle ACD. In the triangle , .
Answer: , and .
