Question

True or false the opposite angles of a quadrilateral in a circumscribed circle are always complementary

Answer 1

False

Explanation:

We are given that

Opposite angles of a quadrilateral in a circumscribed circle are always complementary.

We have to find that this statement is true or not.

We know that

When a quadrilateral in a circumscribed circle is called cyclic quadrilateral.

We know that

Sum of opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral is always 180 degrees.

When sum of two angle is equal to 180 degrees then , the angles are called supplementary.

Hence, the sum of opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral is always supplementary.

Therefore, the given statement is false.

Answer 2

Answer: This statement is false.

Explanation:

False, the opposite angles of a quadrilateral in a circumscribed circle is not complementary.

As we know that the sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral ( quadrilateral circumscribed circle ) is always supplementary.

So, Sum of opposite angles is 180° .

Hence, this statement is false.
