Answer» GIVEN ;- ⇒ ABCD is a quadrilateral and it hascircumscribing a circle Which has centreO. CONSTRUCTION ;- ⇒ Join -AO, BO, CO, DO. TO PROVE :- ⇒Opposite sides of a quadrilateral circumscribing a circle subtend supplementary angles at the centre of the circle. PROOF ;- ⇒ In the given figure , we can see that ⇒∠DAO = ∠BAO [Because, AB and AD are tangents in the circe] So , we take this angls as 1 , that is , ⇒ ∠DAO = ∠BAO = 1 Also in quad. ABCD , we get, ⇒∠ABO = ∠CBO { Because, BA and BC are tangents } ⇒Also , let us take this angles as 2. that is , ⇒∠ABO = ∠CBO= 2 ⇒ As same as , we can take for vertices C and as well as D. ⇒ Sum. of angles of quadrilateral ABCD = 360° { Sum of angles of quad is360°} Therfore , ⇒2(1 + 2 + 3 + 4) = 360° { Sum. of angles of quad is -360° } ⇒1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 180° Now , in Triangle AOB, ⇒∠BOA= 180 –(a + b ) ⇒ { Equation 1 }Also , In triangle COD, ⇒∠COD = 180 – (c + d) ⇒ { Equation 2 } ⇒From Eq. 1 and 2 we get , ⇒Angle BOA + Angle COD = 360 – (a + b + c + d) = 360° – 180° = 180° ⇒So , we conclude that the line AB and CD subtend supplementary angles at the centreO ⇒Hence it is proved that -opposite sides of a quadrilateral circumscribing a circle subtend supplementary angles at the centre of the circle. |
