QuestionA, B, C and D are four points on the circumference of a circle. TA is the tangent to the circle at A. Angle DAT =30=30^{\circ}. Angle ADC=132\mathrm{ADC}=132^{\circ}. a) Calculate the size of angle ABC . Explain your method: b) Calculate the size of angle CBD. Explain your method. c) Explain why AC cannot be a diameter of the circle.

Studdy Solution
For AC to be a diameter, ABC\angle ABC would have to be 9090^\circ (since the angle subtended by a diameter is a right angle). However, we calculated ABC=48\angle ABC = 48^\circ, which is not 9090^\circ. Hence, AC cannot be a diameter.
The solutions are: a) ABC=48\angle ABC = 48^\circ b) CBD=30\angle CBD = 30^\circ c) AC cannot be a diameter because ABC\angle ABC is not 9090^\circ.
