Investigating Geometric Proofs through Circle Angle Invariants

Investigating Geometric Proofs through Circle Angle Invariants

Secondary 3

In the diagram, \(A\), \(B\), \(C\) and \(D\) are points on the circumference of the circle centre \(O\).
\(ABE\) and \(DCE\) are straight lines and \(ST\) is a tangent to the circle at \(A\).
\(ST\) is parallel to \(DE\), \(\angle CEB=36{}^\circ\) and \(\angle DAB=83{}^\circ\).

  1. Calculate
    1. angle \(OAB\),
    2. angle \(ABC\),
    3. angle \(AOD\).
  2. Show that \(ACD\) is an isosceles triangle.
