If two non parallel sides of a trapezium are equal prove tjat it is cyclic
Answers
Let ABCD be a trapezium
in which AB=DC
To prove: ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral i.e.,<4+<1=180°
DE parallel to AB is drawn
Now, AD is parallel to BE (since AD||BC)
=>ABED is a parallelogram
=>AB=DE (opposite sides of a parallelogram)
=> DE=DC (since AB=DC)
=>∆DEC is a isosceles triangle
=> <1=<2 ➡️[1] (angles opp. to equal sides are equal)
also, <4=<3 ➡️[2] (opp. angles of parallelogram ABED are equal)
Now,
<3+<2=180° (linear pair)
=><4+<1=180° 【from[1)]&[2]】
thus, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral
hence proved

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.
