LMNP is a cyclic quadrilateral seg LM is extended upto point T if m angle LPN= 105° then angle NMT =?
Plz explain STEP BY STEP plz
Answers
Given:-
- Given quadrilateral is cyclic quadrilateral.
- ∠LPN is 105°.
To find:-
- ∠NMT.
Solution:-
We know that,
Sum of either pair of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180°.
So,
⇒∠LPN + ∠LMN = 180°
⇒105° + ∠LMN = 180°
⇒∠LMN = 180° - 105°
⇒∠LMN = 75°
We also know that,
Sum of all angles forms on straight line is equal to 180°. This statement is also known as linear pair.
So,
⇒∠LMN + ∠NMT = 180°[Linear pair]
⇒75° + ∠NMT = 180°
⇒∠NMT = 180° - 75°
⇒∠NMT = 105°
Therefore,
∠NMT is 105°.
◉ LMNP is a cyclic quadrilateral.
◉ LM is extended upto point T.
◉ ∠LPN = 105°
✿ ∠NMT.
A quadrilateral is cyclic when a circle passes through all its four vertices.
Also, opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral add up to 180°.
We have,
➩ ∠LPN + ∠LMN = 180°
➩ 105° + ∠LMN = 180°
➩ ∠LMN = 180° - 105°
➩ ∠LMN = 75°
A pair of adjacent angles is called linear pair if they add up to 180°. So here ∠LMN and ∠NMT is a pair of adjacent angles and if we add them then we get their measure 180°, therefore it is a linear pair.
So, we have:
➩ ∠LMN + ∠NMT = 180°
➩ ∠75° + ∠NMT = 180°
➩ ∠NMT = 180° - 75°
➩ ∠NMT = 105°
∴ ∠NMT =
