Prove the Cyclic Quadrilateral Conjecture

Mathematics
1 answer:
Rufina [12.5K]2 years ago

Given ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.

To prove that ∠A + ∠C = 180° and ∠B + ∠D = 180°

Construction: Join AC and BD.

Proof:

<em>Angles in the same segment are equal.</em>

∠ACD = ∠ABD – – – – (1)

∠DAC = ∠DBC – – – – (2)

Add (1) and (2), we get

∠ACD + ∠DAC = ∠ABD + ∠DBC

⇒ ∠ACD + ∠DAC = ∠ABC  (Since ∠ABD + ∠DBC = ∠ABC)

Add ∠ADC on both sides.

⇒ ∠ACD + ∠DAC + ∠ADC = ∠ABC + ∠ADC

We know that <em>sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°.</em>

In ΔABC, ∠ACD + ∠DAC + ∠ADC = 180°

Now, 180° = ∠ABC + ∠ADC

180° = ∠B + ∠C – – – – (3)

<em>Sum of all the angles of a quadrilateral = 360°</em>

∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360°

∠A + ∠C + 180° = 360° (using (3))

∠A + ∠C = 360° – 180°

∠A + ∠C = 180°  – – – – (4)

Equation (3) and (4) shows that,

Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary.

Hence proved.

zysi [14]
Take the area of the small photograph and divide it by four, assuming it's a square, each side would then be 6 inches. The large photograph has double the side length of the small one, so 6 multiplied by 2 is 12. To find the area of the large (square) photograph, multiply 12 by 12 as two of the sides, and the area of the large photo is 144 square inches

Find the inverse f(x)=6x+7
Lorico [155]

Answer:

f^{-1} (x) = \frac{x-7}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

let y = f(x) , then rearrange making x the subject

y = 6x + 7 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

y - 7 = 6x ( divide both sides by 6 )

\frac{y-7}{6} = x

Change y back into terms of x with x = f^{-1} (x) , then

f^{-1} (x) = \frac{x-7}{6}

Answer:

BCD is the outer angle of triangle ABC

=> BCD = ABC + BAC

<=> 150⁰ = ABC + 118⁰

=> ABC = 150⁰ - 118⁰

<=> ABC = 32⁰

Write the equation of a line perpendicular to 5x – 4y = - 3 that passes through the point (-5,2).
kolezko [41]

Answer: 5y + 4x = - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are said to be perpendicular if the product of their gradients = -1.

If the gradient of the first line is m_{1} and the gradient of the second line is m_{2} , if the lines are perpendicular, them

m_{1} x m_{2} = -1 , that is

m_{1} = \frac{-1}{m_{2} }

The equation of the line given is 5x - 4y = -3 , we need to write this equation in slope - intercept form in order to find the slope.

The equation in slope -intercept form is given as :

y =mx + c , where m is the slope and c is the y - intercept.

Writing the equation in this form , we have

5x - 4y = + 3

4y = 5x -+3

y = 5x/4 + 3/4

comparing with the equation y = mx + c , then m_{1} = 5/4

Which means that m_{2} = -4/5 and the line passes through the point ( -5 , 2 ).

Using the equation of line in slope - point form  to find the equation of the line;

y - y_{1} = m ( x -  y_{1} )

y - 2 = -4/5 ( x +5)

5(y - 2 ) = -4 ( x + 5 )

5y - 10 = -4x - 20

5y + 4x = - 10
