\(\angle BCD= 98^{\circ}\)

Show Worked Solution

\( \angle BCD + \angle DAB = 180^{\circ} \ \ \text{(opposite angles of cyclic quad)} \)

\(\angle BCD\) \(=180-(62+20)\)  
  \(=98^{\circ} \)

In the diagram, \(OB\) meets the chord \(AC\) such that \(AB = BC\).

The length of chord \(AC = 24\), and \(OC = 13\). 
 

Find the length of \(OB\).  (3 marks)   

Show Answers Only

\(OB=5\)

Show Worked Solution

\(OB \perp AC\ \ \text{(line through centre that bisects chord)}\)

\(BC= \dfrac{1}{2} \times 24 = 12 \)

\(\text{Using Pythagoras in}\ \Delta OBC :\)

\(OB^2\) \(= 13^2-12^2 \)  
  \(= 25\)  
\(\therefore OB\) \(=5\)

The graph below represents a friendship network. The vertices represent the four people in the friendship network: Kwan (K), Louise (L), Milly (M) and Narelle (N).

An edge represents the presence of a friendship between a pair of these people. For example, the edge connecting K and L shows that Kwan and Louise are friends.
