In Fig. 14.71, APB and COD are straight lines
through the points of intersection of two circles.
Prove (i) AC || BD, (ii) ZCPD = ZAQB. (SC)
Answers
Join AC, PQ and BD
ACQP is a cyclic quadrilateral
∴ ∠CAP + ∠PQC = 180° ...(i)
(pair of opposite in a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary)
PQDB is a cyclic quadrilateral
∴ ∠PQD + ∠DBP = 180° ….(ii)
(pair of opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary)
Again, ∠PQC + ∠PQD = 180° ... (iii)
(CQD is a straight line
Using (i), (ii) and (iii)
∴ ∠CAP + ∠DBP = 180° Or
∴ ∠CAB + ∠DBA =180°
We know, if a transversal intersects two lines such That a pair of interior angles on the same side of the Transversal is supplementary, then the two lines are parallel
∴ AC || BD
