Given:
In the given circle O, BC is diameter, OA is radius, DC is a chord parallel to chord BA and
.
To find:
The
.
Solution:
If a transversal line intersect two parallel lines, then the alternate interior angles are congruent.
We have, DC is parallel to BA and BC is the transversal line.
[Alternate interior angles]


In triangle AOB, OA and OB are radii of the circle O. It means OA=OB and triangle AOB is an isosceles triangle.
The base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent. So,
[Base angles of an isosceles triangle]


Using the angle sum property in triangle AOB, we get





Hence, the measure of angle AOB is 120 degrees.
The converse and the validity of the statement is:
- If a parallelogram is a rectangle, then the diagonals are congruent.
- TRUE.
The statement is given as:
If the diagonals of a parallelogram are congruent, then is the parallelogram is a rectangle
Considering the following statement
If a then b
Its converse is:
If b then a
So, the converse of the given statement is:
If a parallelogram is a rectangle, then the diagonals are congruent.
The diagonals of a rectangle are true.
Hence, the validity is true.
So, the true statement is (b)

Step-by-step explanation:
step 1. 12x - 15 - 12x = 7x + 20
step 2. 12x - 12x - 15 = 7x + 20 (grouping of terms)
step 3. -15 = 7x + 20 (adding like terms)
step 4. -35 = 7x (subtract 20 from both sides)
step 5. this step is incorrect.
step 6. -5 = x ( divide both sides by 7)
step 7. x = -5 (put the variable first).
