Answer:

∠C = 62°

Explanation:

GIVEN :-

  • Cyclic quadrilateral ABCD
  • ∠A = (2x + 38)°
  • ∠D = (x + 20)°
  • ∠B = (3x)°

TO FIND :-

  • The measure of ∠C

FACTS TO KNOW BEFORE SOLVING :-

  • A cyclic quadrilateral is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle.
  • In a cyclic quadrilateral , sum of the opposite interior angles is equal to 180°

PROCEDURE :-

As ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral ,

∠B + ∠D = 180°


=> 3x + x + 20 = 180


=> 4x = 180 - 20


=> x = (160)/(4) = 40

Putting the values of x gives :-

∠A = (2×40 + 38)° = 118°

∠B = (3×40)° = 120°

∠D = (40 + 20)° = 60°

Also,

∠A + ∠C = 180°

∠C = 180° - 118° = 62°
