1. **Problem statement:** Given a circle with points A, B, C, D, E on the circumference and center O, with EOB a straight line, \(\angle AÔB = 105^\circ\) and \(\angle BÊC = 20^\circ\). Find the sizes of: (a) \(\angle A\hat{B}C\) (b) \(\angle A\hat{D}C\) (c) \(\angle B\hat{C}D\) (d) \(\angle D\hat{A}B\) 2. **Key formulas and rules:** - The angle at the center \(\angle AÔB\) subtends the arc \(AB\). - The angle at the circumference subtending the same arc is half the central angle: \(\angle A\hat{B}C = \frac{1}{2} \angle AÔB\). - Angles on a straight line sum to \(180^\circ\). - Opposite angles in cyclic quadrilaterals sum to \(180^\circ\). 3. **Step (a): Find \(\angle A\hat{B}C\)** - \(\angle AÔB = 105^\circ\) is the central angle subtending arc \(AB\). - The angle at the circumference subtending the same arc \(AB\) is half of \(105^\circ\): $$\angle A\hat{B}C = \frac{1}{2} \times 105^\circ = 52.5^\circ$$ 4. **Step (b): Find \(\angle A\hat{D}C\)** - \(\angle BÊC = 20^\circ\) is an angle at point E on the circumference. - Since EOB is a straight line, \(\angle BÊC\) subtends arc \(BC\). - The angle \(\angle A\hat{D}C\) subtends the same arc \(BC\) but from point D. - By the circle theorem, angles subtending the same arc are equal: $$\angle A\hat{D}C = \angle BÊC = 20^\circ$$ 5. **Step (c): Find \(\angle B\hat{C}D\)** - Consider quadrilateral ABCD inscribed in the circle. - Opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral sum to \(180^\circ\). - \(\angle A\hat{B}C = 52.5^\circ\) (from step a) is opposite to \(\angle B\hat{C}D\). So, $$\angle B\hat{C}D = 180^\circ - 52.5^\circ = 127.5^\circ$$ 6. **Step (d): Find \(\angle D\hat{A}B\)** - Consider triangle ABD. - \(\angle D\hat{A}B\) subtends arc \(DB\). - Arc \(DB\) is the remaining arc after arcs \(AB\) and \(BC\). - Central angle \(\angle EÔB = 180^\circ\) since EOB is a straight line. - Arc \(AB\) corresponds to \(105^\circ\) (central angle), arc \(BC\) corresponds to \(2 \times 20^\circ = 40^\circ\) (since \(\angle BÊC = 20^\circ\) is half the arc). - So arc \(DB = 360^\circ - (105^\circ + 40^\circ) = 215^\circ\). - Angle at circumference subtending arc \(DB\) is half the arc: $$\angle D\hat{A}B = \frac{1}{2} \times 215^\circ = 107.5^\circ$$ **Final answers:** (a) \(\angle A\hat{B}C = 52.5^\circ\) (b) \(\angle A\hat{D}C = 20^\circ\) (c) \(\angle B\hat{C}D = 127.5^\circ\) (d) \(\angle D\hat{A}B = 107.5^\circ\)
