The question, in short

Points A, B, C, D lie on a circle with centre O, and AOC is a diameter with angle BAC = 55°. Find angle ADB, justifying each step.

Solution · 4 marks

  1. 1Angle ABC = 90° because it is the angle in a semicircle
  2. 2In triangle ABC, angles add up to 180°, so angle ACB = 180° − 90° − 55° = 35°
  3. 3Angle ADB = angle ACB because they are angles in the same segment
  4. 4So angle ADB = 35°
