    Angle
In summary, the problem involves a square ABCD with a circle inscribed, where CP is a radius of the circle and intersects with DB at point Q. Given that ABP is 30 degrees, the task is to find the measure of angle DQC. After some calculations, it is determined that DQC is equal to 105 degrees.

ABCD is a square, CP is a radius for a circle, CP and DB intersect in Q, ABP=30 degrees, find DQC.

Homework Equations



none

The Attempt at a Solution



DBP is 15 degrees, that's what I've found out. Nothing else.

Its not a homework question, I randomly found it on the internet and now I can't get peace until I get how its supposed to be solved.
Please give me a hint or something.

Thanks in advance,
fawk3s

Never mind guys. I figured it out. This thread can be closed/deleted.
It was actually so easy that I am imbarrased I even posted this. :blushing:
But I can be retarded sometimes.

Anyway, whoever is interested in the solution:
CP=BC, because both are the radius of the circle. But because DB is the diagonal of the square, DBC=45 degrees and so PBD=90-45-30=15 degrees.
Now we get PBC=45+15=60 degrees. But because PC=CB, we get that CPB=60 degrees aswell. And now we get that PCB=180-60-60=60 degrees also.
And now we can calculate CQB=180-60-45=75 degrees.
Then we can easily get DQC=180-75=105 degrees.

FAQ: Solve Angle of Intersection: ABCD & CP-DB in ABCD Square

What is the angle of intersection between line segments ABCD and CP-DB in a square?

The angle of intersection between line segments ABCD and CP-DB in a square depends on the specific measurements and orientation of the square. It cannot be determined without knowing these values.

How do you solve for the angle of intersection between line segments ABCD and CP-DB in a square?

To solve for the angle of intersection, you need to know the coordinates of the points A, B, C, D, P, and Q. Then, you can use trigonometric functions such as sine, cosine, or tangent to determine the angle using the appropriate formula.

Can the angle of intersection between line segments ABCD and CP-DB in a square be greater than 90 degrees?

Yes, it is possible for the angle of intersection to be greater than 90 degrees. This can happen if the line segments are not perpendicular to each other or if the square is not a perfect 90-degree angle.

What if the line segments ABCD and CP-DB in a square are parallel?

If the line segments are parallel, then the angle of intersection between them would be 0 degrees. This means that the two line segments do not intersect at any point.

Is there a specific formula for finding the angle of intersection between line segments ABCD and CP-DB in a square?

There is no single formula for finding the angle of intersection between these line segments. It depends on the specific measurements and orientation of the square, and different formulas may be used to solve for the angle. However, trigonometric functions are commonly used to find the angle of intersection.
