Question 9:
Diagram below shows a circle with centre O. PQR is a straight line.

Find the value of x and of y.

Solution:
In cyclic quadrilateral,
Angle at Q = 180o – 70o = 110o
x2 = exterior angle at Q
= 180o – 110o
= 70o
x = 70

yo = reflex angle at O
yo = 360o – (70o × 2)
yo = 220o
y = 220


Question 10:
In diagram below, ABCD and DEFG are straight lines.
Find the value of x and of y.

Solution:
x=95(exterior of B cyclic quadrilateral)CBF+BFE+95o+110o=360o CBF+BFE+205o=360oCBF+BFE=155oyo+CBF+BFE=180o  yo+155o=180o  y=25
