In quadrilaterals inscribed in circles, the sum of opposite angles=180 degrees. so, x+134=180
Answer:
EF = 20 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to find the length of EF
To do this, we use the principle of similar triangles
The similar triangles we are considering here will be ;
FEA and FBD
when two triangles are similar, the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal
Let us calculate DC first
we can use Pythagoras’ theorem here and it is that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the square of the two other sides
Using the triangle EDC
15^2 = 12^2 + DC^2
DC^2 = 225-144
DC^2 = 81
DC = 9
So the entire length of BD is 9 + 12 = 21 cm
Thus, we have it that;
Let EF be x
so DF = 15 + x
Hence;
BD/DF = AE/EF
21/15+x = 12/x
21x = 12(15 + x)
21x = 180 + 12x
21x-12x = 180
9x = 180
x = 180/9
x = 20 cm
EF = 20 cm

Diameter of the circle is BD as shown, as indicated and passed through center where BD passes, triangle ABD is a right triangle with angle ABD as the right angle. It means ADB and ABD are complementary which means
AB = 140 degree
AD=40 degree
