Hello,
False
since
m∠B + m∠D must be equal to 180°
and
m∠A + m∠C must be equal to 180°

Answer:

B. False.

Explanation:

We have been given an image of a quadrilateral. We are asked to determine whether a circle could be circumscribed about the given quadrilateral.

We know that opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary.

Let us check is this true for our given quadrilateral or not.


m\angle B+m\angle D=180^(\circ)


80^(\circ)+60^(\circ)=180^(\circ)


140^(\circ)\\eq 180^(\circ)

Now let us check other pair of angles.


m\angle A+m\angle C=180^(\circ)


110^(\circ)+110^(\circ)=180^(\circ)


220^(\circ)\\eq 180^(\circ)

Since opposite angles of our given quadrilateral are not supplementary, therefore, a circle could not be circumscribed about the given quadrilateral.
