Given: A chord of a circle is equal to the radius of the circle i.e. OA=OB.

To find: ADB and \angleACB.

Solution :

  

In \triangleOAB,

OA = AB        (Given )

OA = OB          (Radii of the circle)

So,  OA=OB=AB

\Rightarrow ABC is an equilateral triangle.

So,\angleAOB = 60 \degree

  \angleAOB  = 2 \angleADB 

\Rightarrow \angle ADB=\frac{1}{2}\angle AOB

\Rightarrow \angle ADB=\frac{1}{2}60 \degree=30

ACBD is a cyclic quadrilateral.

So, \angleACB+\angleADB =180 \degree

   \Rightarrow \angle ACB+30 \degree= 180 \degree

\Rightarrow \angle ACB= 180 \degree-30 \degree=150 \degree
