Question 1.
Find the values of x and y in the figures given below.
i)

Solution:
From the figure x = y [ ∵ angles opp. to opp. to equal sides]
But x + y + 30° = 180°
∴ x + y = 180° – 30° = 150°
⇒ x + y = \(\frac { 150° }{ 2 }\) = 75°

ii)

Solution:
From the figure x° + 110° = 180°
[ ∵ Opp. angles of a cyclic quad, are supplementary]
y + 85°= 180°
∴ x= 180° – 110°; y = 180° – 85°
x = 70°; y = 95°
iii)

Solution:
From the figure x = 90° [angle in a semi-circle]
∴ y = 90° – 50° [∵ angle sum property]
= 40°

Question 2.
Given that the vertices A, B, C of a quadrilateral ABCD lie on a circle. Also ∠A + ∠C = 180°, then prove that the vertex D also lie on the same circle.
Solution:
Given : ∠A + ∠C = 180°
∴ ∠B + ∠D = 360° – 180°
[ ∵ sum of the four angles of a quad. is 360 ].
Now in □ABCD, sum of the pairs of opp. angles is 180°.
∴ □ABCD must be a cyclic quadrilateral, i.e., D also lie on the same circle on which the vertices A, B and C lie. Hence proved.
Question 3.
Prove that a cyclic rhombus is a square.
Solution:

Let □ABCD be a cyclic rhombus,
i.e., AB = BC = CD = DA and
∠A + ∠C = ∠B + ∠D = 180°
But a rhombus is basically a parallelo-gram.
