Question
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral such that $\angle\text{ADB} = 30^\circ$ and $\angle\text{DCA} = 80^\circ,$ then $\angle\text{DAB} =$
  1. 70°
  2. 100°
  3. 125°
  4. 150°

Answer

  1. 70°
Solution:

ABCD is a cyclic Quadrilateral.
Consider $\triangle\text{ABD}$ and $\triangle\text{ABC}.$
Both are on the same base AB and $\angle\text{ADB}$ and $\angle\text{ACB}$ are the angles in the same segment AB.
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{ADB}=\angle\text{ACB}=30^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{BCD}=80^\circ+30^\circ=110^\circ$
In a cyclic Quadrilateral, sum of opposite angles is 180°
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{C}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{DAB}+\angle\text{BCD}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{DAB}=180^\circ-110^\circ=70^\circ$
