Pentagon ABCDE is inscribed in a circle with center at O and diameter AB. Find the measure of angle AED + angle DCB in degrees.
Pentagon ABCDE is inscribed in a circle with a center at O and diameter AB. Find the measure of angle AED + angle DCB in degrees.
∠AED + ∠DCB = 270 degrees
Angle AED's sum of its intercepted arcs = AB + BC + DC
Angle DCB's sum of its intercepted arcs = ED + AE + AB
So , combined, they intercept arcs of 2AB + AE + ED + DC + BC
2AB = 360°
AE + ED + DC + BC = 180°
So their combined measures = (1/2) ( 360 + 180) = (1/2) (540) = 270°
