Given : O is the centre of the circle and AB is a straight line
To Find : triangle CDO is always a ______
1) isosceles triangle
2) isosceles right triangle
3) equilateral triangle
Solution:
Join AO
=> ∠OAC = ∠OCA = 20° as OA = OC = Radius
=> ∠AOC = 140°
=> ∠ABC = (1/2)∠AOC = (1/2)140° = 70°
in ΔABC
∠ABC = 70°
∠BAC = 30°
=> ∠ACB = 80°
=> ∠BCD = 80° - 20° - 20° = 40°
∠ABC = 70° => ∠DBC = 70°
∠BCD = 40°
=> ∠BDC= 70°
Hence ∠DBC = ∠BDC
=> BC = CD
Join BO
∠BOC = 2(∠BAC)
=> ∠BOC = 2(30°)
=> ∠BOC = 60°
∠BCO = ∠BCD + ∠DCO = 40° + 20° = 60°
Hence ΔBOC is an equilateral Triangle
=> BC = OC
BC = CD
BC = OC
=> OC = CD
OC = CD hence Δ CDO is an isosceles triangle
∠DCO = 20° ( hence it can not be equilateral or right angle triangle )
Δ CDO is always a isosceles triangle
