Question
ABCD is a parallelogram. A circle through A, B is so drawn that it intersects AD at P and BC at Q. Prove that P, Q, C and D are concyclic.
Answer
Given ABCD is a parallelogram. A circle whose centre O passes through A, B is so drawn that it intersect AD at P and BC at Q To prove Points P, Q, C and D are con-cyclic.
Construction Join PQ
Proof ∠1 = ∠A [exterior angle property of cyclic quadrilateral]
But ∠A = ∠C [opposite angles of a parallelogram]
∴ ∠1 = ∠C ,..(i)
But ∠C+ ∠D = 180° [sum of cointerior angles on same side is 180°]
⇒ ∠1+ ∠D = 180° [from Eq. (i)]
Thus, the quadrilateral QCDP is cyclic.
So, the points P, Q, C and D are con-cyclic. Hence proved.
Answer:
ABCD is a Parallelogram A circle through A,B is
so drown that it is intersects AD at P, and BC
at Q prove the P,Q,C and D are concylic.
Solution :
In a quadrilateral ABDQ,
ABPQ is cyclic
∠DPQ=∠B
∠PQR=∠A ...(1)
We know, it the sum of adjacent angle is 180
∘
∠A+∠D=180
∘
∠B+∠C=180
∘
...(2)
From equation (1) and (2)
∠PQC+∠D=180
∘
∠DPQ+∠C=180
∘
...(3)
Sum of opposite angles in PQCD is 180
∘
∴P,Q,C and D is a concylic.
