Given :

  • Let ABCD Is Cyclic Quadrilateral

To Prove :


\gray{ \frak{ \angle A + \angle C = 180° }}


\: \:


\gray{\frak{\angle B + \angle D = 180°}}


\: \:

Construction Join OB & OD

Proof :


\: \:


\gray{ \frak {\angle BOD = 2 \angle BAD}}


\: \:


\gray{\frak{ \angle BAD = (1)/(2) \angle BOD}}


\: \:

Similarly :


\: \:


\gray{\frak{\angle BCD = (1)/(2) \angle DOB }}


\: \:


\gray{\frak{ \angle BAD + \angle BCD = (1)/(2)\angle BOD + (1)/(2) \angle DOB }}


\: \:


\gray{ \frak { = (1)/(2) ( \angle BOD + \angle DOB )}}


\:


\gray {\frak{ = ( (1)/(2)) * 360 \degree = 180 \degree }}


\: \:


\sf similary : \boxed{\color{skyblue}{ \frak{ \angle \: B + \angle D = 180°}}}


\: \:

Hope Helps ! :)
