Question - 11 : -

ABC and ADC are two right triangles with common hypotenuseAC. Prove that CAD = CBD.

Answer - 11 : -

In ΔABC,

ABC + BCA + CAB = 180°(Angle sum property of a triangle)

90° + BCA + CAB = 180°

BCA + CAB = 90° … (1)

In ΔADC,

CDA + ACD + DAC = 180°(Angle sum property of a triangle)

90° + ACD + DAC = 180°

ACD + DAC = 90° … (2)

Adding equations (1) and (2), we obtain

BCA + CAB + ACD + DAC = 180°

(BCA + ACD) + (CAB + DAC) = 180°

BCD + DAB = 180° … (3)

However, it is given that

B + D = 90° + 90° = 180° … (4)

From equations (3) and (4), it can be observed that thesum of the measures of opposite angles of quadrilateral ABCD is 180°.Therefore, it is a cyclic quadrilateral.

Consider chord CD.

CAD = CBD (Angles in the same segment)

Question - 12 : -

Prove that a cyclic parallelogram is a rectangle.

Answer - 12 : -

Let ABCD bea cyclic parallelogram.

A + C = 180° (Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral) … (1)

We know that opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.

A = C and B = D

From equation (1),

A + C = 180°

A + A = 180°

2 A = 180°

A = 90°

Parallelogram ABCD has one of its interior angles as90°. Therefore, it is a rectangle.
