CYCLIC QUADRILATERAL
DEFINITION A quadrilateral is called a cyclic quadrilateral if its all vertices lie on a circle.
A cyclic quadrilateral has some special properties which other quadrilaterals, in general, need not have . We shall state and prove these properties as theorems.
Theorem 1 The sum of either pair of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilaterals is
OR
The opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary.
Given A cyclic quadrilateral ABCD. TO PROVE CONSTRUCTION Join AC and BD. PROOF Consider side AB of quadrilateral ABCD as the chord of the circle. Clearly,
Now, consider the side BC of quadrilateral ABCD as the chord of the circle. We find that
Adding equations (i) and (ii) , we get
Hence, The converse of this theorem is also true as given below. |  |
Converse Theorem: If the sum of any pair of opposite angles of a quadriletral is | |
Given: A quadrilateral ABCD in which Tp Prove: ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral Construction: Draw a circle passing through A, B and C. Proof: Suppose the circle meets CD or CD produced at E. Join AE Now ABCE is a cyclic Quadrilateral. As Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary
But, From Equation (1) and (2) we get But this is not possible And we know that the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to sum of interior opposite angles That is exterior angle is always greater than interior opposite angle Thus our assumption is wrong Hence ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral. |
Case (1)
Case (2) |
| Illustration: In the figure ACDF is a cyclic quadrilateral. A circle passing through A and F meets AC and DF in the points B and E respectively. Prove that BE || CD. | |
Solution: ACDF is a cyclic quadrilateral and In a cyclic quadrilateral opposite angles are supplementary
Also ABEF is a cyclic quadrilateral and In a cyclic quadrilateral opposite angles are supplementary
From Equation 1 and 3 we get But they are corresponding angles when BE and CD are two straight lines and BC is the transversal As they are equal, So BE || CD |  |

Students / Parents Reviews [20]
We started with lot of hope that Abhyas will help in better understnding of complex topics of highers classes. we are not disappointed with the progress our child has made after attending Abhyas. Though need to mention that we expected a lot more. On a scale of 1-10, we would give may be 7.

10thThe experience was nice. I studied here for three years and saw a tremendous change in myself. I started liking subjects like English and SST which earlier I ran from. Extra knowledge gave me confidence to overcome competitive exams. One of the best institutes for secondary education.

7thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.

8thWhen I have not joined Abhyas Academy, my skills of solving maths problems were not clear. But, after joining it, my skills have been developed and my concepts of science and SST are very well. I also came to know about other subjects such as vedic maths and reasoning.

10thUsually we see institutes offering objective based learning which usually causes a lag behind in subjective examinations which is the pattern followed by schools. I think it is really a work of planning to make us students grab the advantages of modes of examination, Objective Subjective and Onli...
