  1. Extend CDO' to cut the circle O' at E.
    Join AE, BE. Let angle AEB = y
    By the result of Problem 717,
    y = 65 deg
    But AEBD is a cyclic quadrilateral.
    So x + y = 180 deg
    Hence x = 115 deg

  2. By applying the formula that angle bda=90+bca/2 therefore half of 50=25 and by adding 90 we get 90+25=115
    therefore measure of angle bda =115

  3. x
    = angle subtended by major arc AB of circle(O')at D
    = half the ∠ subtended by arc AB of circle (O')at center O'.
    = (1/2)major∠AO'B
    = (1/2)(360°-minor∠AO'B)
    = (1/2)[360°-(180°-∠ACB)] (∵ AO'BC is a cyclic quadrilateral)
    = (1/2)(180°+∠ACB)
    = (1/2)(180°+50°)
    = (1/2)(230°)
    = 115°

  4. <AO'B=180-50=130
    <ADB=180-<AO'B/2=180-65=115
