We are given a circle \( ABCDE \) with center \( O \), where \( TEF \) is a tangent to the circle at point \( E \). The angle \( \angle DEF = 30^\circ \) is also provided. We are asked to calculate the following angles, providing reasons for each:

1. \( \angle ACD \)
2. \( \angle EAD \)
3. \( \angle EOD \)
4. \( \angle BCD \)

Let's go through each one step by step:

### (i) \( \angle ACD \):
To find \( \angle ACD \), we use the fact that angle \( \angle DEF = 30^\circ \). This implies that arc \( AD \) subtends \( \angle ACD \) and the center of the circle subtends twice the angle at the circumference. Hence, \( \angle ACD = \frac{1}{2} \angle EOD \).

However, this depends on further information, so we might come back to this after finding other angles.

### (ii) \( \angle EAD \):
Since \( TEF \) is a tangent to the circle at point \( E \), the tangent-secant theorem tells us that the angle between a tangent and a chord is equal to the angle subtended by the chord on the opposite side of the circle. Therefore, we have:
\[
\angle EAD = \angle DEF = 30^\circ
\]
Thus, \( \angle EAD = 30^\circ \).

### (iii) \( \angle EOD \):
Since \( O \) is the center of the circle and \( EOD \) is a central angle subtended by arc \( ED \), and \( \angle DEF \) is subtended by the same arc at the circumference, the central angle is twice the angle at the circumference. Thus:
\[
\angle EOD = 2 \times \angle DEF = 2 \times 30^\circ = 60^\circ
\]

### (iv) \( \angle BCD \):
In a cyclic quadrilateral (since \( ABCD \) lies on the circle), opposite angles sum to \( 180^\circ \). To calculate \( \angle BCD \), we need to know \( \angle AOD \), which is the angle subtended by arc \( BD \). From \( \angle EOD = 60^\circ \), and given the symmetry of the figure, we deduce that \( \angle BCD \) is also related to \( \angle AOD \), which requires further relationships in the figure for an exact value.

Would you like to go over any of these in more detail, or should we continue with the fourth calculation?

**Questions to expand:**
1. What is the relationship between angles subtended by the same arc in a circle?
2. How does the tangent-secant theorem help in solving angle problems involving circles?
3. How can the cyclic quadrilateral property be applied to find missing angles?
4. Can central and inscribed angles on the same arc always be related by a 2:1 ratio?
5. What other geometric properties of circles can be used in this context?

**Tip:** Always remember that the angle subtended by a chord at the center is twice the angle subtended at the circumference.

In the figure, O is the center of the circle ABCDE, and TEF is a tangent to the circle at E. Given DEF = 30°, calculate the angles ACD, EAD, EOD, and BCD.
