Question

if two non parallel sides of a trapezium are equal prove that it is cyclic

Answer 1

Heya friend,!!

Given: ABCD is a trapezium where AB||CD and AD = BC

To prove: ABCD is cyclic.
Construction: Draw DL⊥AB and CM⊥AB.

Proof: In ΔALD and ΔBMC,
AD = BC (given)
DL = CM (distance between parallel sides)
∠ALD = ∠BMC (90°)
ΔALD ≅ ΔBMC (RHS congruence criterion)
⇒ ∠DAL = ∠CBM (C.P.C.T) (1)
Since AB||CD,
∠DAL + ∠ADC = 180° (sum of adjacent interior angles is supplementary)
⇒ ∠CBM + ∠ADC = 180° (from (1))
⇒ ABCD is a cyclic trapezium (Sum of opposite angles is supplementary)

Hope it helps u

Let's see some related topics :

⚫ Circle : The collection of all the points, which are at a fixed distance from a fixed point in a plane, is called a circle.

⚫ Radius : A line joining the centre to the Circumference of the circle, is called radius of a circle.

⚫ Secant : A line intersecting a circle at any two points, is called secant.

⚫ Diameter : A chord passing through the point of the circle, is called diameter. It is the longest chord.
