The question, in short

Points A, B, C, D lie on a circle centre O, with AOC a diameter and angle AOD = 98°. Find angle DBC, justifying each step.

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

Solution · 4 marks

  1. 198° ÷ 2 = 49°
  2. 2Angle ABD = 49° (angle at the circumference is half the angle at the centre, standing on arc AD)
  3. 3Angle ABC = 90° (angle in a semicircle, since AOC is a diameter)
  4. 4Angle DBC = 90° − 49° = 41°
