OD=OC     (Radius of same circle)
               OD=OC=CD   (Given)
               Triangle ODC is equilateral
               Therefore, ∠COD = 60°

               Now, ∠CBD = ∠COD    (The angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle

                                                      Subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.)
               This gives ∠CBD = 30°
               Again, ∠ACB = 90°      (Angle in a semicircle is a right angle.
               So, ∠BCE = 180° –∠ACB = 90°
               Which gives ∠CEB = 90° – 30° = 60°, i.e. ∠AEB = 60°

               Example2 Example 4 ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which AC and BD are its diagonals.
               If∠DBC = 55° and ∠BAC = 45°, find ∠BCD.
















               Solution : ∠CAD = ∠DBC = 55°       (Angles in the same segment)
               Therefore, ∠DAB = ∠CAD + ∠BAC = 55° + 45° = 100°
               But ∠DAB + ∠BCD = 180°          (Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral)
               So, ∠BCD = 180° – 100° = 80° .

               Example 6 : Prove that the quadrilateral formed (if possible) by the internal angle bisectors of any
               quadrilateral is cyclic.
