Step-by-step explanation:
FOREWORD. The two earliest of the nine main divisions of English Literature are by far the longest—taken
together are longer than all the others combined—but we shall pass rather rapidly over them.
Answer:
As, opposite angles are supplementary , so B , C , D and E are concyclic .
Step-by-step explanation:
To prove - B,C,D,E are concyclic .
Proof - In Δ ADE
AD = AE
=> ∠ADE = ∠AED (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)
Also, ∠ADE + ∠BDE = ∠AED + ∠DEC (Because linear pair is 180° )
=> ∠BDE = ∠DEC
So , in quadrilateral BDEC
∠B + ∠C + ∠BDE + ∠DEC = 360° (As, sum of angles in quadrilateral is of 360°)
=> 2∠B + 2∠DEC = 360°
=> ∠B + ∠DEC = 180°
Also, according to theorem, if opposite angles are supplementary , points are concyclic .
Thus, B,C,D,E are concyclic .
Hence proved .
