In Fig. $\displaystyle 1$, AB is diameter of a circle centered at O. BC is tangent to the circle at B . If OP bisects the chord AD and $\displaystyle \angle \mathrm{AOP}=60^{\circ}$, then find $\displaystyle \mathrm{m} \angle \mathrm{C}$.
Fig. $\displaystyle 1$In Fig. $\displaystyle 2$, XAY is a tangent to the circle centered at O. If $\displaystyle \angle \mathrm{ABO}=40^{\circ}$, then find $\displaystyle \mathrm{m} \angle \mathrm{BAY}$ and $\displaystyle \mathrm{m} \angle \mathrm{AOB}$.

Marking-scheme solution
(a)
\[\begin{gathered}
\because A P=P D \Rightarrow O P \perp A D \\
\therefore \angle O A P=30^{\circ}
\end{gathered}
\]
Also \(\displaystyle \angle A B C=90^{\circ}\)
\(\displaystyle \Rightarrow \angle C=60^{\circ}\)
Or
\[\begin{aligned}
& O A=O B \Rightarrow \angle O A B=40^{\circ} \\
& O A \perp A Y \Rightarrow \angle B A Y=50^{\circ}
\end{aligned}
\]
\[\angle A O B=180^{\circ}-80^{\circ}=100^{\circ}
\]
