A regular Pentagon ABCDE is incribed in circle O. Chords EC and DB intersect at F (not diameter). Chord DB is Extended to G (outside circle), and Tangent GA is drawn.
\n" ); document.write( "find measure of angle BDE
\n" ); document.write( "find measure of angle BFC
\n" ); document.write( "find measure of angle AGD
\n" ); document.write( "HOPE YOU HAVE A FIGURE OF THE ABOVE..ASSUMING THAT I AM GIVING THE SOLUTION.
\n" ); document.write( "SUM OF ALL INTERIOR ANGLES IN A PENTAGON =(2*5-4)*90 =540
\n" ); document.write( "SINCE IT IS REGULAR PENTAGON EACH ANGLE =540/5=108
\n" ); document.write( "AS PER GIVEN DATA,A,B,E,D LIE ON A CIRCLE...SO ABED IS A CYCLIC QUADRILATERAL..HENCE SUM OF OPPOSITE ANGLES=180=ANGLE EAB+ANGLE BDE
\n" ); document.write( "BUT ANGLE EAB=108 AS PROVED ABOVE
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "HENCE ANGLE BDE=180-108=72
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "SIMILARLY FROM CYCLIC QUADRILATERAL ECBA,WE GET ANGLE ECB=72
\n" ); document.write( "NOW IN A REGULAR PENTAGON EACH SIDE SPANS 1/5 OF PERIMETER OF CIRCUM CIRCLE WITH O AS CENTRE.HENCE EACH SIDE SUBTENDS AN ANGLE OF 360/5=72 AT CENTRE AND HALF OF THAT THAT IS 36 AT THE CIRCUMFERENCE..
\n" ); document.write( "HENCE ANGLE ADB=ANGLE DBC =36
\n" ); document.write( "NOW IN TRIANGLE CFB...WE HAVE...
\n" ); document.write( "ANGLE FCB =ANGLE ECB =72..PROVED ABOVE.
\n" ); document.write( "ANGLE FBC=ANGLE DBC=36......PROVED ABOVE
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "HENCE ANGLE BFC=180-72-36=72
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "ABDE IS A CYCLIC QUADRILATERAL...AB IS A CHORD...AG IS A TANGENT TO CIRCUM CIRCLE..HENCE ANGLE BAG = ANGLE IN THE OPPOSITE SEGMENT =ANGLE ADB=36..PROVED ABOVE
\n" ); document.write( "HENCE ANGLE EAG=ANGLE EAB + ANGLE BAG=108+36=144
\n" ); document.write( "IN QUADRILATERALDEAG...WE HAVE
