Answer:

∠ C = 40° , x = y = 118

Explanation:

10

BC is the diameter of the circle then ∠ A = 90° , angle in a semicircle.

the sum of the 3 angles in Δ ABC = 180° , then

∠ A + ∠ B + ∠ C = 180°

90° + 50° + ∠ C = 180°

140° + ∠ C = 180° ( subtract 140° from both sides )

∠ C = 40°

11

ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral

• the opposite angles are supplementary, sum to 180°

x + 62 = 180 ( subtract 62 from both sides )

x = 118

similarly

y + 62 = 180

y = 118

thus x = y = 118
