⇒ ∆𝐶𝐷𝐸 is an equilateral triangle.
⇒ 𝐷𝐸 = 𝐶𝐸
Now, 𝐴𝐸 = 𝐵𝐸
⇒ 𝐴𝐷 + 𝐷𝐸 = 𝐵𝐶 + 𝐶𝐸
⇒ 𝐴𝐷 = 𝐵𝐶
Therefore, ABCD is an isosceles trapezium. ABC is an equilateral triangle of side 𝑑.
⇒ Diagonals of isosceles trapezium are equal. O is the centre of the ∆𝐴𝐵𝐶 and .
⇒ 𝐴𝐶 = 𝐵𝐷 = 𝑑

Sol. Sol. Statement 1:
If non-parallel sides of a trapezium are equal, then it is
cyclic or isosceles trapezium.
Statement 2:

Let the required angle be 𝑥.

𝑂𝐴 = 𝑂𝐵 = 𝐴𝐵 = 𝑟
∠𝑂𝐴𝐵 + ∠𝐴𝐵𝐶 + ∠𝐵𝐶𝑂 + ∠𝐶𝑂𝐴 = 360°
⇒ ∆𝑂𝐴𝐵 is an equilateral triangle.
⇒ 90° + 𝑥 + 90° + 130° = 360° ⇒ ∠𝐴𝑂𝐵 = 60°
⇒ 𝑥 = 50° We know that, angle made by the chord at the centre is
twice the angle made at the circumference.
