    Re: Circle theorem
    i know that PAD = 18

    ABD and ADB = 180-72/2 = 54

    AP=AB

    What does this tell you about the triangle APB?

    And what does that imply about the angles in the triangle?

    So, you know that the triangle is ********* which means the angles are the ****.

    Well two of them are the same:

    <APB = <ABP

    Now you know the size of <PAB (90) so what are <APB and <ABP ?

    Its 117o, 90-72=18, APD=45 because the triangle is isololes. 18+45=63, 180-63=117.

    Good. Finally, look at triangle APD.

    <APD = 45, <PAD = 18

    So what is <PDA ?

    You really need to start thinking for yourself

    Sketch the diagram

    Mark any angles that you know

    Indicate any equal lines/angles

    117 is correct.

    Have you made any progress with this question? What is <AOB?

    You're like the annoying kid in a classroom who shouts out the answer before the teacher has finished going through a problem .
