Math Problem Statement

In the opposite figure, find the angle x.

Solution

The image shows a circle with center MM and points AA, BB, CC, and DD on its circumference. There is an inscribed angle CDA=x\angle CDA = x and another inscribed angle CBA=20\angle CBA = 20^\circ.

To find the measure of angle xx, we can use the fact that angles subtended by the same arc in a circle are equal. Both CDA\angle CDA and CBA\angle CBA subtend the same arc \overarcCA\overarc{CA}.

Therefore, x=20x = 20^\circ.

Answer: The value of xx is 2020^\circ.

Here are some related questions to expand on this concept:

  1. How do we calculate angles subtended by the same arc in a circle?
  2. What is the Inscribed Angle Theorem and how does it apply here?
  3. How would the calculation change if the angle CBA\angle CBA was different?
  4. Can we use the same method for angles outside the circle?
  5. What are the properties of angles at the center versus angles on the circumference?

Tip: In a circle, angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are always equal.
