Question
In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle and BCD is tangent to it at C. Prove that ∠BAC+∠ACD=90°.
Solution
1

Circle with centre O, tangent BCD at C, and point A on circle

In △OAC: OA=OC (radii of the circle)
+1 mark3
⇒∠OCA=∠OAC (angles opposite equal sides)
+1 mark4
Now, ∠OCD=90° (radius ⊥ tangent), so ∠OCA+∠ACD=90°
