Question

abcd is a cyclic quadrilateral angle a = 2x , angle b =3y, angle c = bx and angle d = 7y. Find all angles

Answer 1

Answer:

Let ABCD be a cyclic quadrilateral.

∠A=2x+4,∠B=y+3,∠C=2y+10,∠D=4x−5

In cyclic quadrilateral the sum of the opposite angles in 180°. Therefore,

∠A+∠C=180°

⇒2x+4+2y+10=180°

⇒2x+2y=166°

⇒x+y=83°→1

∠B+∠D=180°

⇒y+3+4x−5=180°

⇒4x+y=182°→2

Solving 1 and 2, we get

4x+y−x−y=182°−83°⇒3x=99°⇒x=33°

& 33°+y=83°⇒y=83°−33°=50°

∴∠A=2×33°+4=70°,∠B=50°+3=53°

∠C=2×50°+10=110°,∠D=4×33°−5=127°
