ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral. Then which of the angles given add to 180∘?
In a cyclic quadrilateral sum of opposite internal angles is 180∘
Therefore, opposite internal angles in a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary.
Let O be the centre of the circle that can pass through ABCD. AC is the chord of the circle.
Join AC and BD
Since sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180∘,
We have that∠CAB + ∠ABC+∠ACB = 180∘
Also angles in a same segment are equal we have that∠CAB = ∠BDC and also ∠ACB = ∠ADB
Adding both the equations we get ∠BDC + ∠ADB = ∠CAB + ∠ACB
If we add∠ABC on both sides, we get that∠ABC + ∠BAC + ∠ACB = ∠ABC + ∠ADC.
As ∠ABC,∠BAC,∠ACB are angles in a triangle, their sum will be 180∘
Therefore ∠ABC + ∠ADC = 180∘
Similarly, we can prove that other pairs of internal opposite angles are supplementary.
Thus, ∠BAD + ∠BCD = 180∘
