Ina circle with centre O, AB is a diameter and CD is a chord such that ABCD is a trapezium. If $$\angle$$BAC = $$28^\circ$$, then $$\angle$$CAD is equal to:
As per the given question,
ABCD is a trapezium, So, AB and CD are a parallel lines.
We know that $$\angle BAC=\angle ACDÂ .....$$(alternate angle)
$$\angle ACB=90^\circ$$ angled formed by diameter and chord in semi circle.
We know that ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral, because all the vertices of the quadrilateral is on the circumference of the circle.
Hence the sum of the opposite angle=180
Let $$\angle CAD=x$$
So, $$\angle BAD+\angle BCD=180^\circ$$
$$\Rightarrow 28+x+90+28=180$$
$$\Rightarrow x=180-90-28-28=34^\circ$$
Hence, $$x=34^\circ$$
