What are the common mistakes in Angles in the same segment?

When a pupil makes one of these on Revision Workshop, the marking engine names the mistake and explains it, instead of just marking the answer wrong.

• Measures the diagram to check a result instead of proving it algebraically/geometrically

  Measured or estimated angle ACB and angle ADB from a specific drawing and found them equal in that one case, rather than proving the equality holds in general via the shared centre angle AOB

• Doesn't use the fact that the angle in a semicircle is always 90°

  Forgot that the angle in a semicircle is 90°, and instead used only the triangle angle sum with the given angle (180 - knownAngle) rather than subtracting the 90° angle too

• Applies an incorrect geometric theorem for the configuration given

  Treated the two angles as supplementary (summing to 180°, as in a cyclic quadrilateral) instead of using the same-segment theorem, which makes them equal
