 Q7 Given: A quadrilateral 𝐴𝐵𝐶𝐷 is inscribed in a circle with centre at 𝑂.

To Prove: 𝑚∠ 𝐴𝐵𝐶 + 𝑚∠ 𝐴𝐷𝐶 = 180° and 𝑚∠ 𝐵𝐶𝐷 + 𝑚∠ 𝐵𝐴𝐷 = 180°

Figure:
D
Construction: Join 𝑂 to 𝐴 and 𝐶.

RS
Proof: ∠ 𝐴𝑂𝐶 is a central angle of the arc 𝐴𝐵𝐶 and A O 1
2

∠ 𝐴𝐵𝐶 is an inscribed angle at B on the remaining part of the circle. C

PE
B

Statements Reasons

PA
𝑚∠1 = 2 𝑚 ∠𝐴𝐵𝐶 ⟶ 𝑒𝑞𝑛(1) The angle which an arc of a circle subtends at the Center is twice
of the angle subtended at any point on the remaining part of the
𝑚∠2 = 2 𝑚 ∠𝐴𝐷𝐶 ⟶ 𝑒𝑞𝑛(2) circumference.

𝑚∠1 + 𝑚∠2 = 2 [𝑚 ∠𝐴𝐵𝐶 + 𝑚 ∠𝐴𝐷𝐶] Same as above

T
𝑚∠1 + 𝑚∠2 = 360° Adding 𝑒𝑞𝑛𝑠(1&2)

S
2 [𝑚 ∠𝐴𝐵𝐶 + 𝑚 ∠𝐴𝐷𝐶] = 360°

[𝑚 ∠𝐴𝐵𝐶 + 𝑚 ∠𝐴𝐷𝐶] = 180°

PA
Similarly Hence proved
𝑚∠ 𝐵𝐶𝐷 + 𝑚∠ 𝐵𝐴𝐷 = 180°
