1. **Problem statement:**
We have a circle with center O and points D, E, F on the circumference. Given angles are \(\angle EDF = x^\circ\) and \(\angle OEF = 4x^\circ\).
We need to find:
(a)(i) \(\angle OFE\) in terms of \(x\),
(a)(ii) \(\angle EOF\) in terms of \(x\),
(b) the value of \(x\).
2. **Key facts and formulas:**
- The center O and points on the circumference form isosceles triangles because radii are equal.
- The sum of angles in any triangle is \(180^\circ\).
- The angle at the center is twice the angle at the circumference subtending the same arc.
3. **Step (a)(i): Find \(\angle OFE\)**
- Triangle \(OEF\) has sides \(OE = OF\) (radii), so \(\triangle OEF\) is isosceles with \(OE = OF\).
- Given \(\angle OEF = 4x^\circ\), the base angles are \(\angle OFE\) and \(\angle EOF\).
- Let \(\angle OFE = y\).
- Sum of angles in \(\triangle OEF\):
$$4x + y + y = 180$$
$$4x + 2y = 180$$
$$2y = 180 - 4x$$
$$y = 90 - 2x$$
- So, \(\angle OFE = 90 - 2x^\circ\).
4. **Step (a)(ii): Find \(\angle EOF\)**
- From above, \(\angle EOF = y = 90 - 2x^\circ\).
5. **Step (b): Calculate \(x\)**
- Given \(\angle EDF = x^\circ\) is an angle at the circumference subtending arc \(OF\).
- The central angle \(\angle EOF\) subtending the same arc is \(2x^\circ\) (angle at center is twice angle at circumference).
- But from (a)(ii), \(\angle EOF = 90 - 2x\).
- Equate:
$$90 - 2x = 2x$$
$$90 = 4x$$
$$x = 22.5$$
**Final answers:**
- \(\angle OFE = 90 - 2x = 90 - 2(22.5) = 45^\circ\)
- \(\angle EOF = 45^\circ\)
- \(x = 22.5^\circ\)
