Answer
(i) We know that:
Sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180°.
⇒ ∠BAD + ∠BCD = 180°
⇒ ∠BCD = 180° - 100°
⇒ ∠BCD = 80°.
Hence, ∠BCD = 80°.
(ii) Since AB ∥ DC, the angles ∠BAD and ∠ADC are consecutive interior angles along the transversal AD.
Therefore,
⇒ ∠BAD + ∠ADC = 180°
⇒ 100° + ∠ADC = 180°
⇒ ∠ADC = 180° - 100°
⇒ ∠ADC = 80°.
Hence, ∠ADC = 80°.
(iii) We know that:
Sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180°.
⇒ ∠ABC + ∠ADC = 180°
⇒ ∠ABC + 80° = 180°
⇒ ∠ABC = 180° - 80°
⇒ ∠ABC = 100°.
Hence, ∠ABC = 100°.
