TOPIC === CYCLIC QUADRILATERAL

DEFINITION A QUADRILATERAL WHOSE VERTICES LIE ON A CIRCLE IS

CALLED A CYCLIC QUADRILATERAL

THEOREM SUM OF TWO OPPOSITE ANGLES OF A CYCLIC QUADRILATERAL

IS 180.
PROOF ∠ABC=1/2∠AOC=1/2 X (ANGLE MADE BY AN ARC OF A CIRCLE AT
-----⊕ THE CENTRE OF THE CIRCLE IS TWICE THE
ANGLE MADE BY IT ON THE CIRCUMFERENCE)
∠ADC=1/2∠AOC=1/2 Y ( “ “ “ “ )
B
-------⊗
ADDING EQN’S ⊗ AND ⊕ , WE GET
∠ABC +∠ADC =1/2 X+1/2 Y x OO
=1/2 (X+Y)) o ∩∩ OO C
=1/2 (360) A y
=180

D
SIMILARLY,
∠BAD+∠BCD=180

HENCE PROVED.
 CONVERSE OF PREVIOUS THEOREM IS TRUE:

CONVERSE:: IF THE SUM OF OPPOSITE ANGLES OF A QUADRILATERAL

IS 180, THEN IT IS CYCLIC

PROOF: SUPPOSE ∠ABC+∠ADC=180

THEN ∠BAD+∠BCD= 180 (SUM OF FOUR ANGLES OF

------⊗ QUADRILATERAL IS 360)
SUPPOSE, THE CIRCLE WITH CENTRE ‘C ‘PASSING THROUGH
A, B, C DOES NOT PASS THROUGH ‘D ‘. E
BUT, IF WE EXTEND CD, IT CUTS IT AT POINT ‘E’. A
THEN ∠B+∠E=180 (BECAUSE OF PREVIOUS THEOREM) D D
ALSO ∠B+∠D =180 (BY EQN” ⊗ )
THIS IMPLIES ∠D=∠E .O C
B C
WHICH A CONTRADICTION AS IN A TRIANGLE, EXTERIOR
ANGLE IS NOT EQUAL TO INTERIOR OPPOSITE ANGLE
BUT SUM OF INTERIOR OPPOSITE ANGLE.

∴, OUR SUPPOSITION IS WRONG.

HENCE, CIRCLE WITH CENTRE ‘O’ PASSES THROUGH A, B,C& D.

HENCE, ABCD IS A CYCLIC QUADRILATERAL
 EXAMPLES

D
1. IN THE GIVEN FIGURE, FIND ∠ ADC.
C
SOLUTION: A 70

GIVEN THAT ∠ABC=70

SINCE WE KNOW THAT IN A CYCLIC
QUADRILATERAL, SUM OF TWO OPPOSITE B

ANGLE IS 180.
∴BY USING THIS RESULT,
WE GET THAT
∠ABC+∠ADC=180
⇒ 70 +∠ADC=180
⇒ ∠ADC=180-70
⇒ ∠ADC=110
HENCE ∠ADC=110
2. PROVE THAT ∠BCE=∠BAD.
A B
SOLUTION:
IN THE FIGURE,
∠BAD + ∠BCD=180 (BY THEOREM 1) D C E
∠BCD +∠BCE =180 (BY LINEAR PAIR PROPERTY)

∴∠BAD +∠BCD = ∠BCD +∠BCE

⇒ ∠BAD =∠BCE
HENCE PROVED.

∗THIS RESULT IS SOMETIME USED AS A PROPERTY.
