In the diagram, point O is the center of the circle and angle ADB = 43°. If angle AOB = angle BOC, what is angle BDC?

OpenStudy (theislander):

A-45 B-43 C-41 D-37 E-33

OpenStudy (disco619):

So, first you should know the rule that: The angle on the circumference is half of that on the Center. Which means... |dw:1387149738274:dw|

OpenStudy (disco619):

So, Angle AOB = \[43 \times 2\] \[Angle AOB = 86\]

OpenStudy (disco619):

If angle AOB = and BOC This means, BOC = 86

OpenStudy (disco619):

NOW, we will find the Angle AOC This, we find by adding AOB and BOC 86 + 86 = 172 Angle AOC = 172 Now as I already said that the Angle on the circumference of the Circle is half of that on the Center. This means Angle ADC... Angle ADC = 172/2 Angle ADC = 86 Now... Angle ADC - Angle ADB = Angle BDC ADC = 86 ADB = 43 So, 86 - 43 = BDC Angle BDC = 43 Answer is: Angle BDC is 43 which means it's Option "B"

Got it?

OpenStudy (theislander):

yes, thank you so much for the help completely understand it
