Question

In a circle AB is diameter and points C and D are on the circumference such that ∠ CAD = 40° and ∠ CBA = 60°. What is the value of ∠ ACD?

A 20° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 30° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 40° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 50° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

According to figure above, ∠ CAD and ∠ CBD subtend the same arc DC on the circumference. ⇒ ∠ CAD = ∠ CBD = 40° Also, ∠ DBA = ∠ CBA - ∠ CBD = 60 - 40 = 20°. Now ∠ DBA and ∠ ACD subtend the same arc DA on the circumference of the circle. ⇒ ∠ ACD = ∠ DBA = 20°.
