Circle with diameter AB and points C and D on the circle, DC parallel to AB; chords AD, DB, BC and DC drawn; angle BAD = 70°

Diagram NOT accurately drawn

A, B, C and D are points on a circle.
AB is a diameter of the circle.
DC is parallel to AB.
Angle \(BAD = 70^\circ\)

(a) Calculate the size of angle BDC. (2)

The tangent to the circle at D meets the line BC extended at T.

(b) Calculate the size of angle BTD. (3)
