For proving a quadrilateral to be cyclic. , We have to prove one pair of opposite angles or both pairs of opposite angles to be 180

Open in App
Solution



Dear Student,

If you prove even a single pair of opposite angles in a quadrilateral to be supplementary, the quadrilateral is a cyclic quadrilateral.
Because if one pair is supplementary, that is the sum of opposite angles is 180 degrees, the sum of another pair is also 180 degrees.

(Sum of all angles of a quadrilateral = 360° Let A, B , C and D be the 4 angles. Let A+C = 180°A + B + C + D = 360°A+C + B+D = 360°180° + B+D = 360° B+D = 360° - 180° B+D = 180° So, if one pair of opposite angles is supplementary, the another one is also)
