ACS Primary 2009 PSLE Math Prelim Paper 2 Q13

In the figure below, O is the centre of the circle and AE is parallel to BC. DF = DE, Angle OAB = 58 degrees and Angle FED = 50 degrees.


a) Find Angle GBC
b) Find Angle DCB

Solution


a)
Angle ABO = 58 deg (isosceles triangle)
Angle BOG = (58 + 58) deg = 116 deg (exterior angles)
Angle OGB = [(180 - 116) divided by 2] = 32 deg
Angle GBC = 32 deg (alternate angles)

Answer: 32 degrees


b)
Angle FDE = (180 - 50 - 50) deg = 80 deg
Angle FDE = Angle GDC = 80 deg
Angle DCB = (180 - 80) deg = 100 deg

Answer: 100 degrees
