In the given circle, the diameter is parallel to , and is parallel to . The angles and are in the ratio . What is the degree measure of angle ?
problem
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
Solution
We can let be and be because they are in the ratio . When an inscribed angle contains the diameter, the inscribed angle is a right angle. Therefore by triangle sum theorem, and . because they are alternate interior angles and . Opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary, so . Use substitution to get
Final answer
C
