Solution


It is given that two consecutive angles of cyclic quadrilateral are congruent .Let ABC=BCDBAD+BCD=180° (ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral)BAD+ABC=180° (ABC=BCD)The sum of angles on the same side of a transversal line is supplementary. ADBCConstruction: Draw a line from D parallel to AB which intersects BC at E.ADBC and ABDE ABED is a parallelogram.So, AB=DE ...(i) (Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal)ABE=DEC (Corresponding angles)ABC=BCD (Given)So, DEC=BCD DE=DC ...(ii) (Sides opposite to equal angles are equal)Using equations (i) and (ii), we have:AB=DC
