Solution
∠ABD + ∠DBC = 30° + 30° = 60°
⇒ ∠ABC = 60°
In cyclic quadrilateral ABCD,
∠ADC + ∠ABC = 180°
(Pair of opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary)
⇒ ∠ADC = 180° – 60° = 120°
In ∆AOD, OA = OD ...(Radii of the same circle)
∠AOD = ∠DAO Or ∠DAB = 60° ...[Proved in (i)]
∠AOD = 60°
⇒ ∠ADO = ∠AOD = ∠DAO = 60°
∴ ∆AOD is an equilateral triangle.
