The question, in short

In a circle with points A, B, C, D, AB parallel to DC, angle ACD = 32°, chords AC and DB meet at E; find x, the marked angle AEB.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and the diagram.

Solution · 2 marks

  1. 1Angle CAB = angle ACD = 32° (alternate angles, AB ∥ DC)
  2. 2Angle ABD = angle ACD = 32° (angles in the same segment)
  3. 3x = 180 − 32 − 32 = 116 (angles in triangle ABE)
