if the non parallel sides of a Trapezium are equal then prove that it is a cyclic quadrilateral
Answers
Answer
for a quadrilateral to be cyclic the sum of opposite angles in the quadrilateral is 180°
Step-by-step explanation:
TO PROVE ∠A+∠C=180 OR ∠B+∠D=180
DRAW DE AND CF PERPENDICULAR TO AB
IN TRIANGLE aed and bfc we have
ad=bc
∠aed=∠bfc=90°
de=fc (height between parallel sides)
so Δaed ≅ Δbfc
∠a=∠b(cpct)......................(1)
∠a+∠d=180° (angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary)
∠b+∠d=180° from eq(1)
∠a+∠b+∠c+∠d=360°
∠a+∠c=180° from eq(1)

Solution:
It is given that ABCD is a trapezium with AB∥CD and AD=BC
We need to prove that ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.
Construction: Draw AM⊥CD and BN⊥CD
In ∆AMD and ∆BNC, we have
AD=BC (Given)
∠AMD=∠BNC (Each equal to 90°)
AM=BN (Distance between two parallel lines is constant.)
Therefore, by RHS congruence rule, we have ∆AMD≅∆BNC
⇒∠D=∠C (Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are equal) ........ (1)
We also have ∠A+∠D=180′ (Co-interior angles, AB∥CD) ......... (2)
From (1) and (2), we can say that ∠A+∠C=180°
⇒ ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.
(If the sum of a pair of opposite angles of a quadrilateral is 180°, the quadrilateral is cyclic.)
I hope, this will help you.
