✤ Required Proof:
✒ GiveN:
- A cyclic quadrilateral.
✒ To prove:
- Outer angle of a cyclic quadrilateral is equal to the inner angle at opposite vertex !!
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✤ How to Solve?
For proving the above statement, we need to know a theoram based on Cyclic quadrilaterals( The quadrilateral inside a circle, whose vertices touched the circumference)
➤ The sum of opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral is supplementary i.e. they add upto 180°
So, Let's use this theoram, to prove this statement.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✤ Solution:
✒ Refer to the attachment.....
According to theoram,
⇛ ∠CBA + ∠CDA = 180°...........(1)
[ Sum of opposite angles = 180°]
Now in line AE,
⇛ ∠CBA + ∠CBE = 180°...........(2)
[ These angles add upto 180° as they form a straight line, hence they are linear pair.]
From equation, (1) and (2)
⇛ ∠CBA + ∠CDA = ∠CBA + ∠CBE
⇛∠CDA = ∠CBE ( ∠CBA cancels both sides)
Here,
- ∠CDA = Angle at opposite to ∠CBA
- ∠CBE = Outer/Exterior angle of ∠CBA
✒ And, We proved that both of these angles are equal, Hence, Proved !
