Form 4 : Chapter Four

Software, Geometer’s Sketchpad, is required.
Cyclic Quad. ABCD is a cyclic
A quadrilateral.
x Join OB and OD

β
D Then …...
α = 2x
Oα
B y β = 2y
C
α +
x + y = 180° β = 360°
Cyclic Quad.
A For any quadrilateral,
a

d
D
a + c = 180°
B b
c b + d = 180°
C

Reason : opp. ∠ s, cyclic quad.

Cyclic Quad. As a + c = 180
D °x + c = 180

a ∴a = x
Any exter ior angle is equal t o

C
Reason : ext. ∠ s, cyclic quad.
