3. The diagram below shows ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.












The tangent to the circle at A is parallel to the line BC. Prove that triangle ABC is an
isosceles triangle. [3 marks]
The lines AD and BC extended meet at the point E. Prove that AB is a tangent to the
circle passing through the points B, D and E. [4 marks]

Solution :










Z ACB = ZXAC (alternate angles, AX // BC) B1
Z ABC = Z XAC (alternate segment theorem) B1
Z ACB = Z ABC
triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle. (Base angles equal) B1 (3 marks)

Z DEB = Z XAD (alternate angles, AX // BC) B1
Z ABD = Z XAD (alternate segment theorem) B1
Z ABD = Z DEB
Since any three points can determine a unique circle passing through them
there exist a circle passing through the points B, D and E B1
The line AD is tangent to the circle passing through the points B, D
and E. ( because angle between the tangent and the chord equals to the
angle opposite the chord) B1 (4 marks)
