SPM Practice (Short Questions)


Question 4:


In figure above, ABCD is a tangent to the circle CEF at point C. EGC is a straight line. The value of y is
 
Solution:
CEF=DCF=70AEG+70+210=360AEG=80In cyclic quadrilateralABGE,ABG+AEG=180y+80=180y=100


Question 5:

In figure above, PAQ is a tangent to the circle at point A. AEC and BED are straight lines. The value of y is
 
Solution:
ABD = ∠ACD = 40o
ACB = ∠PAB = 60o
y= 180– ∠ACB – ∠CBD – ∠ABD
y= 180– 60o – 25o– 40o = 55o



Question 6:


In figure above, KPL is a tangent to the circle PQRS at point P. The value of x is

Solution:
PQS = ∠SPL= 55o
SPQ = 180– 30o – 55o= 95o
In cyclic quadrilateral,
SPQ + ∠SRQ = 180o
95o+ xo = 180o
x = 85o
