\(A\), \(B\), \(C\) and \(D\) are points on the circumference of a circle with centre \(O\).

\(AE\) is a tangent to the circle at \(A\) and \(OE\) is a straight line that passes through the circle at point \(B\).

Angle \(BCD\) is \(98^\circ\) and angle \(OAD\) is \(30^\circ\).

  1. Find the following angles.
    1. Angle \(BAD\).[1]
    2. Angle \(BOA\).[1]
    3. Angle \(OEA\).[1]
    4. Explain why a semicircle with \(OE\) as diameter passes through point \(A\).[1]
  2. \(ABCD\) is a rhombus and \(RD=SC\).
    \(SCB\), \(DCR\) and \(AQR\) are straight lines.
    The diagram is not drawn to scale.
    Prove that triangles \(SCD\) and \(RDA\) are congruent.[3]

Answer:(a)(i) \(82^\circ\) (ii) \(76^\circ\) (iii) \(14^\circ\) (iv) \(\angle OAE=90^\circ\), so the converse semicircle theorem applies. (b) \(\triangle SCD\equiv\triangle RDA\) by SAS.
