In the figure, ABCD is a cyclic quad. BD is the angle bisector of

@hartnn & @mathstudent55 would you kindly help me?

hartnn (hartnn):

did u get the first part ?

hartnn (hartnn):

which part exactly, you have difficulty with ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all..

hartnn (hartnn):

ok, since BD is the angle bisector of <ABC < ABD = <CBD ---> arc AD = arc CD --->AD=CD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow...powerful....got it

hartnn (hartnn):

in a cyclic Quadrilateral, A+B = C+D =180 A =y C = <BCD = 180 -y

hartnn (hartnn):

ok ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

hartnn (hartnn):

in triangle, BDC, do you know angle CBD = ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

35

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, so since angles in a triangle =180 , can you find angle CDB

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y-35?

hartnn (hartnn):

good :)

hartnn (hartnn):

what about angle ADB =.. ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

180-35-y 145-y?

hartnn (hartnn):

correct, now for AB=CB <ADB =<CDB can you find y from here ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y-35=180-y? 2y=215 ........

hartnn (hartnn):

y-35 = 145-y right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

<BCD=180-y... <BDC=y-35

hartnn (hartnn):

how 180-y ? <ADB = 145-y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

<BDC...

oh my god. I forgot to draw the picture....|dw:1358669000578:dw|
