Question

In a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, A= 2x+3 , B= 3y+2 , C = 3x-3 , D= 3y-2 . Find
values of x and y​

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°
